4-2 Configuring the Ethernet Module
Using RSLinx Software You can use RSLinx software, version 2.2 or higher, to configure the
Ethernet module via a ControlNet or Data Highway Plus network, or
via the serial port on a Logix 5550 processor, if you insert the Ethernet
module into a ControlLogix chassis containing:
•
a 1756-CNB module connected to your workstation via
ControlNet, or
•
a 1756-DHRIO module connected to your workstation via DH+,
or
•
a Logix 5550 processor connected to your workstation via its
serial port.
You must have an appropriate communication driver configured in
RSLinx. After configuring the Ethernet module, you can move it to the
chassis where you want to use it.
To configure the Ethernet module using RSLinx, perform the following
steps:
1. Insert the ENET/B module in the ControlLogix chassis with the
communications module you will be using.
2. Start RSLinx. The RSWho window will open.
3. Select the appropriate driver (e.g., AB_KT-1 for Data Highway Plus,
AB_KTC-1 for ControlNet, or AB_DF1-1 for the Logix 5550’s serial
port).
