About This Manual
This manual describes how you can use EtherNet/IP communication modules
with your Logix5000
controller and communicate with various devices on the
Ethernet network.
Use this manual if you program applications that use EtherNet/IP networks with
these Logix5000 controllers:
• CompactLogix
controller
• ControlLogix
controller
• SoftLogix
controller
Be sure to understand these concepts and tools:
• Use of networking
• Studio 5000
environment
• RSLinx
Classic software
• RSNetWorx
for EtherNet/IP software
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix
5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix5000 controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. This environment is the
one place for design engineers to develop all of the elements of their control
system.
