Configuration Procedure

Before You Begin

Micro850 (2080-L50E) and Micro870 (2080-L70E) controllers (with firmware revision 21.011) have been successfully tested with POINT I/O
1734-AENT/AENTR Series C EtherNet/IP adapters (with firmware revision 6.011 or later) using an enhanced rack-optimization connection.
• The 1734-AENTR adapter has dual Ethernet ports versus the 1734-AENT adapter, which has one Ethernet port. Otherwise, their
functionality is identical.
• The POINT I/O chassis physically supports up to 63 POINT I/O modules but may be limited by the maximum size of the Configuration
Assembly (400 bytes).
• POINT I/O modules that ARE supported are listed in Tables 17 and 18 in Chapter 5 of the Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and
ArmorPOINT® I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016.
IMPORTANT The 1734-4IOL IO-Link master module, POINT Guard safety I/O modules, and third-party POINT I/O modules ARE
NOT supported with Micro800™ controllers because they cannot participate in enhanced rack-optimization
connections.
• There are three types of connections that the Micro800 controller can make to the POINT I/O adapter: exclusive owner, input-only and
listen-only.
- Exclusive owner connections can only be made by one controller at a time. This is the normal connection type to use since it is the
only type that can control the POINT I/O outputs.
- If a POINT I/O configuration excludes any outputs, then an input-only connection must be used. Multiple controllers can have input-
only connections simultaneously to the POINT I/O adapter.
- A listen-only connection can only be made to an adapter that already has an exclusive owner connection that is made to it. It can
only monitor the POINT I/O inputs. Multiple controllers can have listen-only connections simultaneously to the POINT I/O adapter.
• A POINT I/O Generic Device Configurator tool is provided to help you quickly define the Input, Output, and Configuration sizes based on
your POINT I/O module selection. Use this link to access the POINT I/O Generic Device Configurator file, publication 2080-RD001.
Download the spreadsheet for offline access and open the file in the Microsoft® Excel® application.

You must enable macros to use the POINT I/O Generic Device Configurator.

Chapter 1 Configuration Procedure

What You Need

The following devices and software are used in the examples that are described in this Quick Start.
• Micro850 (2080-L50E) or Micro870 (2080-L70E) controller with firmware revision 21.011 or later
• POINT I/O Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter (1734-AENTR) with firmware revision 6.011 or later
• POINT I/O 8-point discrete DC input module (1734-IB8) with firmware revision 3.022 or later
• POINT I/O 4-point discrete DC output module (1734-OB4E) with firmware revision 3.022 or later
• POINT I/O 2-channel analog current input module (1734-IE2C) with firmware revision 3.004 or later
• POINT I/O 2-channel analog current output module (1734-OE2C) with firmware revision 3.004 or later
• Connected Components Workbench™ software version 21 or later
• Microsoft Excel application

Follow These Steps

To complete the configuration procedure, follow these steps.
1. Open the POINT I/O Generic Device Configurator file.
a. In the Config sheet, define the Connection Type and the modules that are on the rack.
Select a cell that is highlighted in yellow and select the option from the dropdown menu.

b. Verify that there are no errors under the Remarks column and the Check column.
c. In the Tag Mapping sheet, review the table to see which words in the generic predefined tags belong to which module.

d. In the Assembly database sheet, select Update to populate the table with the module assembly element values and definitions of
the modules that you have selected.

e. Complete the configuration using the information from the POINT I/O Generic Device Configurator tool.
2. Once the Generic Device configuration is complete, download the project to the controller and verify that the connection status goes
to Running. If not, verify that you entered in the correct Generic Device configuration parameters and the correct chassis size.
Alternatively, you can complete the configuration procedure manually.
1. Complete the Generic Device configuration.
a. Exclusive owner connections to the POINT I/O adapter are configured using the Data-SINT comm format. Input-only and listen-only
connections are configured using the Input Data-SINT comm format. One controller must have an exclusive owner connection that
is made before other controllers can successfully make listen-only connections.
b. For the POINT I/O adapter, the Assembly Instance is always 101 for Input and 102 for Configuration. For the Output Assembly
Instance, exclusive owner connections use 100, input-only connections use 190, and listen-only connections use 191. The Assembly

8 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-QS006C-EN-P - February 2024

 Chapter 1 Configuration Procedure

Instance values are found in Table 2 in Chapter 1 of the Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP
Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016. In this context, produced is another name for input and consumed is another name
for output.
c. Determine the total sizes of input and output bytes for the adapter and I/O modules.
• Always include 8 input bytes for the adapter in the total input size. These 64 bits provide the status of POINT I/O slots 0…63. If
the bit is 0, there is a functioning module present in the slot corresponding to that bit. Because POINT I/O modules support
removal and insertion under power (RIUP), these bits make it possible to monitor whether any modules have been removed.
• For the number of input and output bytes for each I/O module to include for the size totals, see Tables 17 and 18 in Chapter 5 of
the Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016.
d. Connections can be made without configuration (0 bytes), with configuration for the adapter alone, or with configuration for the
adapter and any combination of I/O modules.
e. It is recommended to start with a configuration that includes only the adapter configuration. Once a successful connection has
been established, you can add more I/O module configurations one by one.
• Begin by setting the configuration size to 10. For the 10-byte Adapter Configuration Assembly structure, see Table 3 in Chapter 2
of the Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016. The
first ten bytes of the Generic Device configuration array are used for the adapter. Only the fifth element, “Chassis Size (Low
Byte),” must be set to a nonzero initial value. The POINT I/O chassis size is 1 + the number of installed I/O modules.
2. Once the Generic Device configuration is complete, download the project to the controller and verify that the connection status goes
to Running. If not, verify that you entered in the correct Generic Device configuration parameters and the correct chassis size.
3. If you desire to configure any of the I/O modules at connection time, do that one module at a time. (If no configuration bytes are
included for an I/O module, then that module uses whatever settings were last configured for it, which would be the default settings if
its configuration has never been changed.)
a. For the number of configuration bytes for the I/O module to add to the size total, see Tables 17 and 18 in Chapter 5 of the Assembly
Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016.
b. For every I/O module that includes configuration, an additional four bytes must be added to the configuration size.
• These first four bytes are the slot number that the module is installed in, the configuration data size in bytes (found in Tables 17
and 18), and the low byte and high byte of the Configuration Assembly Instance number (also found in Tables 17 and 18), as
described in Table 4 in Chapter 2 of the Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User
Manual, publication 1734-UM016.
c. To determine what each byte means for a particular I/O module, see the Configuration Assembly Instance tables in Chapter 5 of the
Assembly Connections for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual, publication 1734-UM016.
d. To determine the valid and default configuration byte values for each of the I/O modules, see Appendix C (POINT I/O Module and
RSLogix 5000® Software Controller Tag Reference) of the POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Module User Manual, publication
1734-UM011. When integer values are listed, those 16-bit integer values must be converted into two 8-bit signed integers (SINTs) to
be entered in as global variable initial values in the Connected Components Workbench software project.

15. To determine the configuration setting values for the 1734-IB8 module, see Appendix C of the POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Module
User Manual, publication 1734-UM011. Although the 1734-IB8 module is not listed in this manual, we can assume that the configuration
setting values are the same as for the 1734-IB4 module.

Table from POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Module User Manual, publication 1734-UM011.

16. The default setting is 1000 microseconds (which is 1 millisecond). If the desired input filter setting is 2000 microseconds (which is 2
milliseconds), this INT value must be converted into two SINTs to get the low byte and high byte.
One method to accomplish the conversion is to use a converter such as:
Integer converter: Translate between 8, 16 and 32-bit ints - cryptii.
For 2000 microseconds, the low byte is -48 and the high byte is 7.

17. Alternate between -48 (input filter low byte) and 7 (input filter high byte) for the 32 Initial Values in AENTR_C[14…45].

18. As an alternative to entering the configuration byte values directly, you can program the COP instruction to copy an array of the input
filter integer values into the configuration array byte values.

19. Download the project to the controller and once connected, verify that the Connection status indicates Running.
20. Repeat steps 11…19 to configure any of the other three I/O modules.

Example Listen-only Connection Configuration

To initiate a listen-only connection to the same POINT I/O adapter that already has an exclusive owner connection (as configured in the
previous example) made to it, set the following:
• Comm Format to Input Data – SINT
• Input Assembly Instance to 101 with size 18 (matching the exclusive owner connection)
• Output Assembly Instance to 191 (size is not configurable at 0)
• Configuration Assembly Instance to 102 with size 0

The input assignments are the same as in the exclusive owner example (Table 1):
• AENTR_I[0].0…AENTR_I[7].7: 1734-AENTR slot 0…63 status (0 = module present in slot# = bit#)
• AENTR_I[8].0…AENTR_I[8].7: 1734-IB8 discrete inputs 0…7 data
• AENTR_I[9]: 1734-OB4E (reserved)
• AENTR_I[10]: 1734-IE2C channel 0 data (low byte)
• AENTR_I[11]: 1734-IE2C channel 0 data (high byte)
• AENTR_I[12]: 1734-IE2C channel 1 data (low byte)
• AENTR_I[13]: 1734-IE2C channel 1 data (high byte)
• AENTR_I[14]: 1734-IE2C channel 0 status
• AENTR_I[15]: 1734-IE2C channel 1 status
• AENTR_I[16]: 1734-OE2C channel 0 status
• AENTR_I[17]: 1734-OE2C channel 1 status

Example Input-only Connection Configuration

To initiate an input-only connection to a POINT I/O adapter with one 1734-IB8 module installed, set the following:
• Comm Format to Input Data – SINT
• Input Assembly Instance to 101 with size 9 (8 for the adapter and 1 for the 1734-IB8)
• Output Assembly Instance to 190 (size is not configurable at 0)
• Configuration Assembly Instance to 102 with size 46 (10 for the adapter and 36 for the 1734-IB8)

The configuration values for AENTR_C[0…3] and AENTR_C[5…45] are the same as in the exclusive owner example (Table 1).

The initial value of AENTR_C[4] should be set to the chassis size in this example of 2 (for the adapter plus one input module).

The input assignments are:

• AENTR_I[0].0…AENTR_I[7].7: 1734-AENTR slot 0…63 status (0 = module present in slot# = bit#)
• AENTR_I[8].0…AENTR_I[8].7: 1734-IB8 discrete inputs 0…7 data
