Configuring the I/O

The Configure Drivers dialog box reappears with the new driver in the
Configured Drivers list.

9.

Click Close to close the Configure Drivers dialog box.

10.

Keep RSLinx software running and verify that your computer recognizes
the drive.
a. From the Communications menu, choose RSWho.
b. In the menu tree, click the ‘+’ next to the Ethernet driver.

If the ‘EtherNet/IP Driver’ cannot see your drive, as an alternative, use
either the ‘Ethernet devices’ or ‘Remote Devices via Linx Gateway’ RSLinx
driver.

ControlLogix Example

The example in this section is for a Master-Slave hierarchy. The ControlLogix
controller, firmware revision 19.00 or later, and the PowerFlex 755 drive,
firmware 2.003 or later, also support ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP
network’ operation. For details to set up ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP
network’ operation, see Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network,
publication

MOTION-UM003

.

Example Network

After the adapter is configured, the drive and adapter will be a single node on the
network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a simple EtherNet/
IP network (see

Figure 6

). In our example, we will configure a 1756-ENBT

(Series A) bridge to communicate with a drive using Logic Command/Status,
Reference/Feedback, and 32 Datalinks (16 to read and 16 to write) over the
network.

TIP

For best reliability in ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
applications, we recommend that you always use Rockwell Automation Cat5e
shielded Ethernet cable.
