This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a Rockwell Automation
ControlLogix or MicroLogix 1100/1400 controller to communicate with the

Start RSLinx Classic software and select Communications > Configure
Drivers
to display the Configure Drivers screen.
2.
From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose EtherNet/IP
Driver.
3.
Click Add New… to display the Add New RSLinx Driver screen.
4.
Use the default name or type a new name and click OK. The ‘Configure
driver:’ screen appears.
5.
Depending on your application, select either the browse local or remote
subnet option.
