Chapter 1 Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Overview This chapter provides an overview of the ArmorPOINT 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 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter • Half/full duplex 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit operation • Panel or wall mounting • Communication to and from other ArmorPOINT I/O modules in the chassis • Communication supported by RSLinx software • IP address assigned via standard BootP or DHCP tools • I/O configuration via RSLogix 5000 software • No network scheduling required • No routing tables required • Support of connections from multiple controllers simultaneously You must use RSLogix 500
Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Physical Features of Your Adapter Chapter 1 The 1738 Adapter has the following components: • One EtherNet/IP Female M12 connector • Network address Switches • Mini Style 4-Pin in Male Auxiliary Power Connector • Status indicators (Module Status; Network Status; POINTBus Status; Network Activity; System Power; Adapter Power) Physical Features of the 1738-AENT/B Adapters EtherNet I/P M12 Female in connector 1738-AENT Series B X100 I P X10 Network
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Important Adapter Considerations Before you begin using your adapter, note the following important considerations. Set the Chassis Size The ArmorPOINT I/O adapters require configuration of their chassis size before you can make any I/O connections. The factory default setting for the chassis size is one slot, which represents the adapter by itself.
Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter • • • • • • Chapter 1 – It cannot assume any safe operation until there is a match between the number of modules indicating their presence in the chassis and what the adapter has saved in non-volatile memory because it cannot detect empty terminal bases. – Actual module identification (such as, electronic keying) is done when connection establishment requests are received from the controller or controllers.
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Use of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) The adapter uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). CIP is the application layer protocol specified for EtherNet/IP, the Ethernet Industrial Protocol, as well as for ControlNet and DeviceNet networks. It is a message-based protocol that implements a relative path to send a message from the producing device in a system to the consuming devices.
Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 1 every 50 ms the device should send its data to the controller and the controller should send the consumed (output) data to the device. Use RPIs only for devices that exchange data. For example, a ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge module in the same chassis as the controller does not require an RPI, because it is not a data-producing member of the system. Its use is only as a bridge to remote racks.
Chapter 1 Overview of the 1738 ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Mixing Rack-optimized and Direct Connections You can mix communication formats for different I/O modules communicating through the same adapter. I/O modules set up to use rack optimization communicate at the rate of the RPI configured for the adapter. I/O modules configured for direct communication communicate at their own individual RPIs and ignore the rack-optimized RPI.
Chapter 2 Install Your ArmorPOINT I/O Adapter Overview This chapter describes how to install and wire your module.
Chapter 2 Install Your ArmorPOINT I/O Adapter Mount the Adapter and I/O Base To mount the adapter on a wall or panel, use the screw holes provided in the adapter. A mounting illustration for the adapter with several attached I/O bases is shown below.

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 rotary switches to configure these parameters. If using the BootP/DHCP utility, you will need to know the Ethernet hardware address of your module.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 IP addresses are written as four decimal integers (0…255) separated by periods where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address. EXAMPLE For example, the 32-bit IP address: 10000000 00000001 00000000 00000001 is written as 128.1.0.1 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.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software 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.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Set the Network Address Chapter 3 The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the switches set to 999. You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address as follows.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Use the Rockwell BootP/ DHCP Utility The Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user-friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix5000 software installation CD. The adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default and the network address switches set to an invalid value) to use the utility.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 2. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure. The New Entry dialog appears with the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC).
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software 3. 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). When the address displays in the IP Address column in the Request History section, the IP address assignment has been made. 4.
Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3 Save the Relation List You can save the Relation List for later use. To save the Relation List, perform the following steps: 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).
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Adapter 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.
Chapter 4 Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection in RSLogix 5000 Software Overview In this example, a ControlLogix controller communicates with ArmorPOINT I/O modules via the adapter using a direct connection. The adapter makes a direct connection to each of the modules referenced by the data. The modules presented in this chapter use RSLogix 5000 software, revision 17 and above.
