Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Overview This chapter provides an overview of the POINT I/O® Series B EtherNet/IP adapter, its primary features, and how to use it. You need to understand the concepts discussed in this chapter to configure your adapter and use it in an EtherNet/IP control system. The following table lists where to find specific information.
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Some of the module’s features are as follows: • EtherNet/IP messages encapsulated within standard TCP/UDP/IP protocol • Common application layer with ControlNet and DeviceNet networks • Interfacing via Category 5 rated twisted pair cable • Half/full duplex 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit operation • DIN rail mounting • Communication to and from other POINT I/O modules on the same DIN rail • Communication supported by RSLinx software • IP address assigned vi
Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Physical Features of Your Adapter Chapter 1 The 1734 Adapters have the following components: • Removable Terminal Block (RTB); • Network address Thumbwheel • Connector (one RJ45 EtherNet/IP connector) • Status indicators (Module Status; Network Status; POINTBus Status; Network Activity; Link 1 Activity/Status; Link 2 Activity/Status; System Power; Field Power) Physical Features of the 1734-AENT Series B Adapters Status indicators RTB removal handle sB
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Important Adapter Considerations Before you begin using your adapter, note the following important considerations. ATTENTION: You must only use Series C and above POINT I/O modules with 1734-AENT EtherNet/IP Adapters. Series A or Series B POINT I/O modules do not work with 1734-AENT EtherNet/IP Adapters (does not apply to POINTGuard modules).
Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 1 Adapter Replacement Note that during a connection request from the controller, the chassis size setting is not communicated to the adapter. You must always set this chassis size using a separate operation. This includes situations when you are replacing an adapter. The adapter does not allow any I/O connections until it is configured with the appropriate chassis size and the proper number of POINT I/O modules are present.
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter • If modules of different types are removed and returned to the wrong locations, attempts to connect to these modules will fail during verification of the electronic ID (providing that keying has not been disabled). • If modules of the same type are removed and returned to the wrong locations, they accept connections from the controller or controllers and reconfigure with the correct data once they pass their electronic keying check.
Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Understand the Producer/ Consumer Model Chapter 1 The CIP producer and consumer networking model replaces the old source and destination (master and slave) model. The producer and consumer model reduces network traffic and increases speed of transmission. In traditional I/O systems, controllers poll input modules to obtain their input status. In the CIP system, input modules are not polled by a controller.
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Rack-optimized connections reduce the total number of connections needed to transfer data when using many digital I/O modules in a system. The following example illustrates the benefit of rack-optimized connections. Assume you set up a system that contains eight digital I/O modules interfaced to an adapter.
Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 1 Understand Messaging Class 3 (Explicit Message) requests through the 1734-AENT adapter to a specific POINT I/O module may not always receive a response from the I/O modules. In the case where the I/O module does not reply to the request, the adapter responds with an error code indicating a timeout. Configure Autobaud The adapter cannot reconfigure an I/O module that you previously configured to operate at a fixed communication rate.

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Introduction This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your modules using the RSLogix 5000 software. Note that the modules presented in this chapter can be configured using RSLogix 5000 software, version 17, or later. Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Configuration Requirements Before you can use your adapter, you must configure its IP address, its subnet mask, and, optionally, a gateway address. You can use the Rockwell BootP utility, version 2.3 or later, to perform the configuration. You can also use a DHCP server or the network address switches to configure these parameters. ATTENTION: You must only use Series C and above POINT I/O modules with 1734-AENT EtherNet/IP Adapters.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 If using the BootP/DHCP utility, you need to know the Ethernet hardware address of your adapter. Rockwell Automation assigns each 1734-AENT adapter a unique 48-bit hardware address at the factory. The address is printed on a label on the side of your 1734-AENT adapter as shown in the figure. It consists of six hexadecimal digits separated by colons. This address is fixed by the hardware and cannot be changed.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Gateway Address This section applies to multi-network systems. If you have a single network system, refer to the next section. The Gateway Address is the default address of a network. It provides a single domain name and point of entry to the site. Gateways connect individual physical networks into a system of networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network, a gateway transfers the data between the two networks.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 Subnet Mask The subnet mask is used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the Host ID address field into a field for subnets. EXAMPLE Take Network 2 (a Class B network) in the previous example and add another physical network.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Set the Network Address The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the Network address thumbwheel switches set to 999. You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address as follows. Set the Network Address for POINT I/O Adapters • Use the thumbwheel switches located on the adapter. Press either the + or buttons to change the number and assign the IP address.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter uses the IP address, along with other TCP configurable parameters, stored in non-volatile memory. WARNING: When you change switch settings while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software 3. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure. The New Entry dialog appears with the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC). 4. Enter the IP Address you want to assign to the device and click OK. The device is added to the Relation List, displaying the Ethernet Address (MAC) and corresponding IP Address, Hostname, and Description (if applicable).
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 5. When the address displays in the IP Address column in the Request History section, the IP address assignment has been made. 6. To make this configuration static in the device, highlight the device in the Relation List panel, and click the Disable BOOTP/DHCP button. When power is cycled to the device, it uses the configuration saved in nonvolatile memory and will not issue a DHCP request. 7.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software 1. Select Save As... from the File menu. The Save As dialog appears. 2. Select the folder where you want to save the Relation List. 3. Enter a File name for the Relation List, for example, control system configuration, and click Save. You can leave the Save as type at the default setting: Bootp Config Files (*.bpc). You now have the option to open the file containing the Relation List at a later session.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Adapter Chapter 3 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached devices.
