Chapter 5 Configure a Supervisor on a Device-level Ring Network
Configure Supervisor
Nodes on a DLR Network
After you have installed all devices on the DLR network, you must configure
the supervisor node. Ring nodes do not require any configuration.
Before you can complete a DLR network, that is, configure all devices on the
ne
twork and make all physical connections, you must configure and enable a
ring supervisor in:
• RSLogix 5000 programming software
or
• RSLinx Classic communication software
This section shows how to use RSLogix 5000 programming software,
beginning on
page 65 , and RSLinx Classic communication software, beginning
on
page 71 , to configure and enable a ring supervisor. When using either
software, the 1783-ETAP, 1783-ETAP1F, and 1783-ETAP2F taps have
addition
al configuration parameters.
IMPORTANT
In addition to using the software listed above to configure and
enable a ring supervisor, you can use the DIP switches on your
tap to automatically configure the tap to be a ring supervisor.
For more information on how to use the DIP switches on your
EtherNet/IP tap, see the EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch
Technology Application Guide, publication
