Connect the Module to the EtherNet/IP Network

Attach the RJ45 connector to the Ethernet port on the bottom of the
module as shown.

WARNING

If you connect or disconnect the communication cable with power applied to
this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

IMPORTANT

We recommend connecting the module to the network via a 100 MB
Ethernet switch, which will reduce collisions and lost packets and increase
network bandwidth. For detailed EtherNet/IP connection information, see
the EtherNet/IP Performance and Application Guide,
