1 Application Description
1.1 Objective
This document describes an application using Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC with MGate
5105-MB-EIP.
In this application, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC is used to get input data that MGate
5105-MB-EIP polls from the temperature meter through Modbus Register. Allen-Bradley
ControlLogix PLC evaluates the temperature value and outputs data to MGate 5105-MB-EIP,
which then uses the data to control speed.
1.2 Goals
In this document, you will learn the following:
1. Configure Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC.
2. Configure MGate 5105-MB-EIP to communicate with a Modbus RTU device.
3. Set up MGate 5105-MB-EIP in RSLogix 5000.
4. Create a basic RSLogix Ladder Programming.
5. Industrial field applications and the job of each role.
2 System Topology
The following figure shows a system architecture in which the Modbus end devices,
PowerFlex 4M and IAQPoint2, are connected to the serial port on MGate 5105-MB-EIP
through RS-485-2W wiring. MGate 5105-MB-EIP and PC (running RSLogix 5000) are
connected to Ethernet switch ports on Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC. A fan is connected to
PowerFlex 4M, which powers the fan.

6 RSLogix Ladder Programming

6.1 Adding a Subroutine
1. In the Controller Organizer tree menu, click Tasks > MainTask. Then, right-click
MainProgram and select New Routine.
2. In the New Routine screen, enter Init in the Name field and click OK.
Page 26 of 36
Moxa Tech Note

6.2 Editing a Subroutine

1. Click the Init subroutine under Tasks > MainTask.
2. Drag a NEQ instruction to Rung 0; then, set input Source A as
MGate5105:I.Data[3] and input Source B as 2.
3. Drag a MOV instruction to the end of Rung 0; then set Source as 2 and input Dest
as MGate5105:O.Data[0].
The settings for Rung 0 checks the value of the PowerFlex logic command register. If the
register value is not equal to 2, the PLC outputs this register as 2 and sets PowerFlex to
Start Mode.
6.3 Editing MainRoutine

1. Click the MainRoutine task under Tasks > MainTask.
2. Drag a Examine On instruction to Rung 0. The S:FS input indicates that this routine
is run once.
3. Drag a Jump To Subroutine instruction to the end of Rung 0 and set Routine Name
as Init.
To remove the Input Par, Input Par, and Return Par parameters that are not required,
right-click on the parameters and select Remove Instruction Parameter.
Page 27 of 36
Moxa Tech Note

4. Add Rung 1 and drag a GEQ instruction to Rung 1; then, set Source A as
5. Drag a MOV instruction to the end of Rung 1; then, set Source as 600 and Dest
input as MGate5105:O.Data[1].
The settings for Rung 1 checks the value of the IAQPoint2 Temperature register. If the
register value is not 250, the PLC outputs the PowerFlex speed register as 600. This
means that if the temperature is greater than 25.0 C, PowerFlex speed is changed to 60
Hz.
6. Add Rung 2 and drag a GEQ instruction to Rung 2; then, set Source A as
7. Drag a LES instruction to Rung 2 and set input Source A as MGate5105:I.Data[6]
and input Source B as 250.
8. Drag a MOV instruction to the end of Rung 1 and set Source as 600 and input Dest
as MGate5105:O.Data[1].
Page 28 of 36
Moxa Tech Note

The settings for Rung 2 checks the value of the IAQPoint2 temperature register. If the
range of the register value is between 245 and 250, the PLC would output PowerFlex Speed
register as 500. This means that if the temperature range is between 24.5 C and 25.0 C,
PowerFlex speed is changed to 50 Hz.
9. Add Rung 3~7 as shown in the following figure.
The following table shows the logic of Rung 1~7.

8 Communication Test
8.1 Monitor Tags
Select Controller Tags to view all the tags that you have created. You can monitor the
IAQPoint2 and PowerFlex register values using Input Tags.
For example, if you use a hairdryer to warm up IAQPoint2, this will increase the values of
MGate5105:I.Data[6] and MGate5105:I.Data[4] tags.
Page 33 of 36
Moxa Tech Note

8.2 Changing Tag Values

You can change the value of Output Tags. For example, if you set the value of
MGate5105:O.Data[0] to 1, PowerFlex changes to Stop Mode.
