3–2 Configuring the Ethernet Channel for Local Communication
Publication 1747-10.4
The following step-by-step procedure shows how to set up the
SLC 5/05 and establish local communication on an Ethernet
network. You need to assign a unique IP address for your processor.
This procedure also shows how to create a ladder program for an
SLC 5/05 processor and download it via the RS232 COM port on
your computer to channel 0 (RS232) on the SLC 5/05. You can use
the 1747-CP3 Programmer Cable to make the physical connection.
Important: For this configuration method, you must first download
a program to the SLC 5/05 (via RS232) before you can
establish Ethernet communications.
Finally, this procedure assumes that you have previous experience
with SLC 500 processors and RSLogix500 programming software.
If you do not, the following publications will help with the SLC 500
hardware and the instruction set. For the software (RSLogix500 and
RSLinx), use the online HELP screens to guide you through
developing a program and configuring channel 0 communication
parameters.

Define SLC 5/05 Processor and I/O Modules
1. Start RSLinx software.
2. When the RSLinx window appears, click on the
“Communications” pull-down menu and select “Configure
Drivers”.
3. In this step, you will configure RS232 driver.
In the “Configure Drivers” window, select “RS232 DF1 Devices”
and click on the “Add New” box. The “Configure Allen-Bradley
DF1 Communications Device” window appears.
Select the communications port you wish to use. This is the PC
serial port COM1 through COM9.
Under Device Type, select “SLC–CH0” and “CRC error
checking”.
If you have an RS232 cable connected between the selected COM
port on your PC and channel 0 on your SLC 5/05, you can click
on “Auto-configure” to define your interface parameters.
