Configure an EtherNet/IP Driver

For EtherNet/IP communication, you must use a 1768-ENBT or
1768-EWEB module. If your controller is a 1768-L4

xS, you must use a

series B 1768-ENBT or 1768-EWEB module. You can install up to two
of these modules to the left of the controller in the 1768 backplane.
Before you can load controller firmware via the EtherNet/IP network,
you must set the EtherNet/IP module’s IP address. You can set the IP
address by using the BootP-DHCP Utility on the Tools menu in
RSLogix 5000 software.

For more information, refer to the EtherNet/IP Modules in Logix5000
