Communicate with Devices on an Ethernet Network Chapter 3
Step 4: Configure the SoftLogix EtherNet/IP Module to Communicate
on an Ethernet Network
Configuring a SoftLogix 5800 EtherNet/IP module is similar to configuring a
1756-ENBT module in a ControlLogix project, except for these differences:
• If the SoftLogix 5800 EtherNet/IP module is in the same virtual chassis as
the SoftLogix controller, you do not have to enter an IP address. The
configuration defaults to the IP address of the computer.
• If there are multiple IP addresses, or if the SoftLogix 5800 EtherNet/IP
module is not in the same virtual chassis as the SoftLogix controller, you
must enter an IP address. This is similar to configuring a
1756-ENBT module.
• A 1756-ENBT module requires that you choose a communication format.
This is not required for a SoftLogix 5800 EtherNet/IP module.
Refer to the EtherNet/IP Network Configuration User Manual,
publication ENET-UM001,
for more information on configuring the
1756-ENBT module. The SoftLogix module is configured the same way.
When you have completed configuration, click OK and save the project.
Your RSLogix 5000 project’s I/O configuration folder should now look
similar to this example.
