Chapter 1 About the Adapters Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Series A1734-AENTR POINT I/O and 1738-AENTR ArmorPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP adapters, their primary features, and how to use them. You need to understand the concepts discussed in this chapter to configure your adapter and use it in an EtherNet/IP control system. This table lists where to find specific information.
Chapter 1 About the Adapters About the POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O 2 Port Adapters The POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O adapters provide connectivity to EtherNet/IP networks for POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O modules respectively. The POINT I/O adapter is for the I/O backplane that provides connectivity through two RJ-45 connectors for 2-port pass-through support of daisy chain or ring, and the existing star and tree network topologies.
About the Adapters Chapter 1 In an attempt to address these situations, you must observe the following rules for I/O system construction and the removal and reinsertion of modules. • A correct I/O system does not have any empty terminal bases. • After you cycle power, the adapter will not allow any I/O connections until the number of modules comprising the chassis plus one for the adapter equals the stored chassis size.
Chapter 1 About the Adapters When you first apply power, we expect that all but one module on the backplane exhibits a solid red Module Status LED. One by one the adapter resets these modules and addresses them appropriately. The amount of time that this operation takes is proportional to the size of your I/ O system.
About the Adapters Hardware/Software Compatibility Chapter 1 The I/O adapters and the applications described in this manual are compatible with the following firmware revisions and software releases. Contact Rockwell Automation if you need software or firmware upgrades to use this equipment Use of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) Product Firmware Revision/ Software Release 1734-AENTR; 1738-AENTR adapters 3.xx or later 1756-ENBT 2.
Chapter 1 About the Adapters The controller also produces data for other controllers to consume. The produced and consumed data is accessible by multiple controllers and other devices over the EtherNet/IP network. This data exchange conforms to the producer and consumer model. Specify the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) The Requested Packet Interval or RPI is the update rate specified for a particular piece of data on the network.
About the Adapters Chapter 1 eight I/O modules. If you use a rack-optimized connection to transfer the data, you only need a single connection – the connection to the I/O adapter. IMPORTANT Although rack-optimized connections offer an efficient way to use resources, there are a few limitations on their use: • You can use only rack-optimized connections to send data to and from digital I/O modules. Analog or speciality I/O requires direct connections.

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/ IP Network Overview Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing them. Here are ways you can do this: • Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or later, that ships with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network 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 use series C POINT I/O modules with the adapter.
Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network Chapter 3 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.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network 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 for Your EtherNet/IP Network Set the Network Address Chapter 3 The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the switches set to 999. To change the network address, do the following. Set the Network Address for POINT I/O Adapter • Use the thumbwheel switches located on the adapter. Press either the + or buttons to change the number. • Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP. • Retrieve the IP address from non-volatile memory.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network Set the Network Address for ArmorPOINT I/O Adapter • Adjust the switches in front of the module • Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server such as Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP • Retrieve the IP address from non-volatile memory The adapter reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid number. Set the network address by adjusting the three switches on the front of the adapter.
Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network Chapter 3 To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps: 1. Run the BootP software. In the BOOTP Request History panel you see the hardware addresses of devices issuing BootP requests. 2. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network The New Entry dialog appears with the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC). 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 for Your EtherNet/IP Network 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 for Your EtherNet/IP Network 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.
