Configuring the I/O

Chapter 4

10.

Click OK.

The bridge is now configured for the EtherNet/IP network, added to the
RSLogix 5000 project, and appears in the I/O Configuration folder.

In our example, a 1756-ENBT bridge appears under the I/O
Configuration folder with its assigned name.

There are two ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:

Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)

Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)

These are described in the following separate sections. If your version of RSLogix
5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use this
method.

Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later

When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000
drive Add-on Profiles provide these advantages:

Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for basic
control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback)
and

Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the

drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles virtually
eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive
configuration time.

New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software
configuration tool.

Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later, project file (.ACD) and also downloaded
to the controller.
