About the CompactLogix 5370 L1 Controllers
These CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers are available:
• 1769-L16ER-BB1B
• 1769-L18ER-BB1B
• 1769-L18ERM-BB1B
IMPORTANT
You are not required to install nor configure an EtherNet/IP network to complete the tasks described in this quick
start. However, before you can complete the tasks described in some of the publications listed on page 12, you
must first install an EtherNet/IP network.
For example, Chapter 4, on Create a Logix Designer Project on page 51 describes how to use ladder logic to test a
1734-OB4E output module. The test is completed by using the output module in a local expansion slot in the
CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system and does not require use of a 1783-EMS08T Stratix 6000 managed switch
because it can be done via a USB connection to the controller.
If you use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in your CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system, as
described in the Logix5000 Control Systems: POINT I/O over an EtherNet/IP Network Quick Start, publication
IASIMP-QS027, you must install and configure an EtherNet/IP network.
Completing all of the tasks described in this quick start will assist you when attempting to complete the tasks in
some other quick starts, such as publication IASIMP-QS027.
IMPORTANT
The tasks described in this publication use a 1769-L18ERM-BB1B controller.
