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. 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.
–
You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address
you must change.
• Use a third party DHCP server.
• Use the Network Address thumbwheel switches.
• Have your network administrator configure the adapter via the network
DHCP server.
See the table for where to find information in this chapter.
Adding POINT and ArmorPOINT modules through RSLogix 5000 involves
the same general procedures. Note, however, that the two modules do not have
exactly similar Module Definition properties or configuration parameters. The
customization of both modules are distinctly covered in the next sections.
