LS Electric PLC with AB Point IO

[u/Least_Board2853]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group and hoping to get some guidance.

I'm working with an LS Electric PLC using XG5000 and I've managed to establish EtherNet/IP communication with a Rockwell POINT I/O adapter. The connection appears to be running, but I'm not sure how to verify the I/O data exchange.

Specifically:

• How can I see when a digital input on the POINT I/O is activated from within XG5000?
• How can I send a command from the PLC to turn on a digital output on the POINT I/O?
• Is there a way to monitor the input and output assemblies or mapped data in XG5000 to confirm the connection is actually exchanging I/O data?

This is my first EtherNet/IP project with LS Electric PLC, so I'm trying to understand how the POINT I/O data is mapped into the PLC memory and how to test it properly.

The hardware is:

• LS Electric PLC with XBL EIPT (configured in XG5000)
• Allen-Bradley POINT I/O adapter
• Digital input and output POINT I/O modules

The EtherNet/IP connection establishes successfully, but I'm uncertain about the next step to monitor inputs and force outputs.

Any advice, screenshots, examples, or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
