Overview

The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® Ethernet Driver provides an easy and reliable way to connect Allen-Bradley

ControlLogix Ethernet controllers to OPC client applications, including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and

countless custom applications.

Supported Allen-Bradley Controllers

ControlLogix® 5500 Series

Communications with ControlLogix can be accomplished through an Ethernet/IP communication module for

Ethernet communications or through a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-serial communications using the

controller's serial port.

CompactLogix™ 5300 Series

Ethernet communications with CompactLogix requires a processor with a built-in Ethernet/IP port such as the

1769-L35E. Communications with CompactLogix otherwise requires a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-

serial communications using the controller's serial port.

FlexLogix 5400 Series

Communications with FlexLogix can be accomplished through a 1788-ENBT daughter card for Ethernet

communications or through a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-serial communications using the controller's

serial port.

SoftLogix 5800

The driver supports the Allen-Bradley SoftLogix 5800 Series Controller and requires an Ethernet card in the

SoftLogix PC.
