Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Driver Help

2 or more Ethernet/IP Interface modules (such as 1756-ENBT).

MicroLogix, SLC500, or PLC-5 series PLC with Ethernet/IPconnectivity.

Note: EthernetIP Gateway models do not support automatic tag database generation.

Ethernet/IP Gateway Device ID

The device ID specifies the local device IP address as well as the remote Ethernet/IP address necessary for

making a connection. Device IDs are specified as the following:

Designator

Type*

Description Formats Range

IP/Host Name N/A IP Address or host name of the local Ethernet/IP

interface module.

Decimal 0-255

1 Port ID Port to backplane. Decimal 1

Optional

Routing Path

Multiple Link,

port pairs

Specifies a way out of the Ethernet/IP interface module

and must equal 1 (port to the backplane).

Decimal *

ENBTSlot Link Address The slot number of the second Ethernet/IP interface

module.

Decimal 0-255

ENBTChannel Port ID The Ethernet/IP port to use. Alpha A and

Remote

IPAddress

Link Address The remote IPaddress of the target PLC. Decimal 0-255

*For more information, refer to Connection Path Specification.

Example

123.123.123.123,1,2.A.192.168.1.10

This equates to a local IP of 123.123.123.123. The second Ethernet/IP card resides in slot 2: use port A and

addressing target device with IP 192.168.1.10.

Note 1: For information on supplementing a device ID with a routing path to a remote Ethernet/IP device, refer to

Communications Routing.

Note 2: For more information on communications parameters, refer to ENI DF1/DH+/ControlNet Gateway

Communications Parameters.

Note 3: When configuring the device ID, users should verify that the device can be detected using the same

route through RSLinx.

Serial Gateway Setup

Serial Gateway provides a means of communicating with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, and SoftLogix

PLCs on a serial network with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Driver.

Requirements

Ethernet/IP Interface module.

Local CPU with a serial port.

Remote ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, or SoftLogix CPU with a serial port.

Note 1: Local and Remote CPUs must be on the same serial network.

Note 2: Serial Gateway models do not support automatic tag database generation.

Serial Gateway Device ID

The device ID specifies the local device IP address as well as the remote device station ID necessary for making a

connection. Device IDs are specified as the following:

Designator

Type*

Description Formats Range

IP/Host Name N/A IP address or host name. Decimal 0-255
