support it. Upgrade CPU Series A to the firmware revision of OS501, FRN5 or later. CPU Series B and
C support the CIP protocol.
*2 Select Control/Compact/Flex Logix Native when using Native tag names on External Devices.
*3 To use the 1761-NET-ENI with the "Control/Compact/Flex Logix Series Native", the module must be
Series B or later.
*4 Refer to the following for the CPU that generates a controller tag of Embedded I/O when the L5K file
is imported.
" Data Type Defined Module List" (page 51)

Projects created with the Ethernet/IP Driver Version 1.12.06 or later can be used with
applications (GP-Pro EX and Pro-Server EX) that have a driver of that version or
greater installed.
A project cannot be used with applications that use an earlier driver version than that
used in the project.
If the driver version is older than V1.12.06, download the latest driver from the
support site, "Otasuke Pro!"
Pro-face Service & Support "Otasuke Pro!"
http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/
When using an EtherNet/IP Driver with Version V1.14.12 or later, and a project is
opened in an application with an earlier driver version installed, the configuration will
be changed as follows.
A tag data block with the tag data name NoData and the controller tag DINT will
be created.
The addresses set on screens and other locations are changed to "Undefined".
When the project is saved, changed data overwrites the previous data.
If a project was created with an earlier version of the driver, save it in the application
with the newer driver installed before transferring to the Display.

The following procedure shows how to assign the device in the RSLogix5000 software and specify the address in
GP-Pro EX.

(1) External Device Tag Setting

Create a Tag Name in the RSLogix5000 software, and set the Data Type (normally an array the size of the number
of registers desired).
Tag Name Set as desired.
Type Select the data type from the following to set the Element.
Match the device name of GP-Pro EX.
BOOL(32bit data type)
INT(word data type)
DINT(dword data type)
SINT(byte data type)
REAL(float data type)

When the device name of GP-Pro EX does not match the data type of a Tag, Display may not run
normally.
Set the range used in GP-Pro EX for the Element. The maximum Element that GP-Pro EX can
access is 999.
If you do not define the Tag as an array, only one register is available to use.
(Example) Tag Name: When you set INT8, Type: INT, you can use only one word for INT8.

<Example 1> Tag Name Type

INT7 INT[200]
DINT1 DINT[100]
DATA2 SINT[50]

1st line: Tag Name "INT7" is INT data type with 200 elements
2nd line: Tag Name "DINT1" is DINT data type with 100 elements
3rd line: Tag Name "DATA2" is SINT data type with 50 elements

(2) Mapping

Map the created Tag Name to a File Number.

Assign the Tag Name created by RSLogix5000 to the optional File Number. You can not assign
File Number
different Tag Names to the same File Number.

<Example 2> File Number Name

2 DATA2
1 DINT1
7 INT7

*1 <TAGNAME>: Tag Name including structure name in case of structure. The maximum number of characters
for Tag Name is 255 including delimiters and element number. The maximum number of characters when using
D-Script is limited to 54.
Ex.) BOOL type single tag: "BOOLTAG"

BOOL from User Defined Structure: "USERSTRUCTURE_A.USERSTRUCTURE_B.MYTIMER.EN"
You cannot start names with any of the following text:
LS, USER, SCR, PRT
*2 Array Element Number: Number of array element is included in the controller tag information. Since the
element number starts from 0, maximum element number is [Element Number - 1].
Ex.) INTARRAY INT[256,256] can be used in the range of INTARRAY[0-255,0-255].
*3 BOOL type array: Available to define only 1 dimension. Number of array element can be specified by multiples
of 32.
*4 By default, 16 words are used for the system data area. If you want to use less than 16 words, first you need to
map an array tag greater than 16 words and define the items for the system data area.
*5 SINT: Handled as 8-bit devices in the External Device, but as 16-bit devices in GP-Pro EX.When using the
SINT type array as word, only even element number can be specified. When it is not an array or used for the
last element in an odd array, the upper byte is set to 0.
*6 Parts for which a STRING device is set do not support the Duplicate - Automatically Increment Address feature.

A maximum of 65535 Controller Tag Indices can be consumed for each PLC. One index for each
Tag or Array of an atomic type.
When the data type of a Tag is a structure, calculate the number of indices used with the following
formula:
<Number of Controller Tag Indices>= (1 + <Number of Structure Members>) x <Number of Array
Elements>
Ex: Timer[16]
Number of Controller Tag Index = (1 + 9) x 16

GP-Pro EX Device/PLC Connection Manual 47

 EtherNet/IP Driver

To use controller tags set up in the RSLogix5000 software on GP-Pro EX, the L5K file needs to be imported. The
L5K file is exported by the RSLogix5000 software. The L5K data imported into GP-Pro EX is saved as a Tag
Data Block.

GP-Pro EX will not import L5K or CSV files for RSLogix5000 software version lower
than 13.

In addition to controller scope or global tags, RSLogix5000 also provides for Program Scope Tags which are only
valid within the PLC program they are created. GP-Pro EX will import these Program Scope Tags from L5K or
CSV files exported from RSLogix5000.
The following derivative data types are provided by RSLogix5000, and are supported in GP-Pro EX.
Predefined data type: a structure data type defined in RSLogix5000. Predefined data types for RSLogix5000
version 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. (FS, LS, OV, and ER of TIMER Predefined types are not supported).
Module defined data type: Data type defined according to a physical module being used in an RSLogix5000
project. GP-Pro EX determines the tags and data types needed for module definitions found in the L5K file.
(Please refer to "Data Type Defined Module List" for all modules supported in GP-Pro EX).
" Data Type Defined Module List" (page 51)
User defined data type: data type defined by the user in RSLogix. Its definition is exported into the L5K file.
Alias: A tag name which refers to another tag or alias on the PLC.

LINT Data Type

Any LINT data type in the file exported by RSLogix is imported to GP-Pro EX as LINT_TC data type. LINT_TC
data type is separated into data and time components.
To display LINT data type in GP-Pro EX as a date or time, use one of the submembers of the LINT_TC data type.
(eg. MyLINT.MONTH will show the month in the LINT register). To display LINT as two 32 bit integer
numbers, use the LINT_D data type for the tag after importing.

If the exported file is imported after changing a tag to LINT_D data type, LINT_D is
overwritten and changed to LINT_TC.

Add-on-Instruction Data Type

Add-on-Instruction Data Type members specified with a Usage value of "InOut" will not be imported into GP-Pro
EX.

GP-Pro EX Device/PLC Connection Manual 48

 EtherNet/IP Driver

Custom String Data Type

The Ethernet/IP drivers Custom String Data Type supports text up to 400 characters. (The STRING device
supports text up to 82 characters.)
Custom String Data Types defined with text over 400 characters will not be imported into GP-Pro EX. Import
results will be recorded in the error log.

When you use GP-Pro EX where V1.16.15 or later driver is installed and import the tag data in the
project that is created with the driver lower than V1.16.15, the structure of custom String is
overwritten and changed to the custom String data type.
When you wish to use the structure where String has been set, create the structure of custom String
data type and make the tag settings once again.
" Create Custom String Structure" (page 50)

Create Custom String Data Type

To create a Custom String Data Type in GP-Pro EX, select "String Type" in the [Data Type / Structure Edit]
dialog box and set the [Maximum Characters].

GP-Pro EX Device/PLC Connection Manual 49

 EtherNet/IP Driver

Create Custom String Structure

When importing a L5K file:
Select [Create Custom String Structure] in the import dialog box.

Using the [Data Type / Structure List] dialog box:

Right-click a Custom String Data Type and click [Create Structure] from the right-click menu.

The name of the created Custom String Structure will be changed to "Custom String Data Type
Name_Struct". If a Custom String Data Type with the same name is imported or created, a number
will be placed after "_Struct", which will be incremented with every identical name that is
imported or created. If the Custom String Data Type Name exceeds 40 characters, it will be
changed as follows.
For Custom String Data Type Name "MyString...abcd" (34 characters):
MyString...abc_Struct
MyString...ab_Struct1
MyString...a_Struct10

An L5K or CSV file to be imported should be the same version as that selected in the [PLC
version] in the [Controller Tag List] dialog.
When an L5K or CSV file of a different PLC version is imported, the predefined definitions are
converted to those matching the selected PLC Version. In addition, if a version 16 to 20 import file
containing LINT data type tags is imported into a tag data block in which version 15 or 13 is
selected, the LINT data type (and tags using it) will not be imported.
GP-Pro EX can export to CSV file in two formats. The first is RSLogix compatible and only
exports the tags from the Tag Data Block. This format can be imported into RSLogix provided the
necessary data types are defined in the RSLogix project. It does not export any aliases imported to
GP-Pro EX. The second is a Pro EX format which saves all tags, aliases and data type information.
Importing it into another GP-Pro EX project will allow using all the same Tag Data in that project.

Importing Tag Data

1) Make a TagName using RSLogix5000 software and set the data type.
2) From [File] menu, select [Save As], and save the controller tag information in the L5K file.

Import can also use CSV file. To export CSV from RSLogix5000, select [Export] from the [Tools]
menu.
CSV only includes tag information. Data type information is not included.

3) Go to the [Individual Device Settings] dialog box using GP-Pro EX and select "Control/Compact/Flex Logix
Series Native" in the [Series] selector.

4) Click [Import New]. Select the L5K file to be imported and click [Open].

When importing controller scope tags only, select the [Controller Scope Only] check box beside
the [Tag/Structure] list. To import Controller Scope tags and Program Scope tags deselect this box.
To create a Custom String Structure, select "Create Custom String Structure" under [Tag/Structure].

5) Import is executed and Tag Data Block is generated.

If any unsupported data types or tags are found during import, a log file can be generated.
Using the dialog box displayed, set the name and the location of the log file to be saved. Import
results can be confirmed in the log file.
If a CSV file with tags of user defined data types is imported, and the types are not already defined
in GP-Pro EX, the tags will not import. Review the log file for the tags not imported.
" Making a New Data Type" (page 64)
A tag data block can be assigned to multiple external devices. Once a tag data block is created it
can be selected in the [Individual Device Settings] dialog box for setting up a new External Device.
If a tag data block assigned to multiple external devices is edited, the changes will affect all
External Devices to which it is assigned.
Multiple tag data blocks can be set up in a project as required (Max. 18).
Clicking on the [Import New] button will cause the newly imported Tag Data Block to be assigned
to the External Device in place of the current Tag Data Block.
On closing the [Individual Device Settings] dialog box, any unassigned Tag Data Blocks can be
deleted.
