Creating Allen-Bradley data sources


The data source input mask opens, in which you can select the Allen-Bradley data source as "Type" as a first step. However,

if you first assign a name to the data source and if this contains the word "allen", then "Allen-Bradley" is already preselected as

the data source type. (This works with all data source types)



After this, the data source-specific settings adapt automatically to the Allen-Bradley data source.




Allen-Bradley Specific:


  • IP adress

Enter the desired destination IP address.


  • Slot

Enter the slot of the data source.



After entering the information relevant for the connection, click on "Add".

And after editing an already created data source, click on "Save".




The Allen-Bradley data source is created and subsequently displayed in the data source overview.




Created data sources can be edited or deleted. You do this via the corresponding buttons. You also have the option of viewing all internal data sources.

This works by activating the checkbox "Show internal data sources".


Below you can create variables for the Allen-Bradley data source.


You can find out how to add variables for the Allen-Bradley data source in the “Adding Allen-Bradley variables” chapter:
