Connect to the Module Via the USB Port
Components Required for USB Connection
The EtherNet/IP module has a USB device port that uses a Type B
receptacle. The port is USB 1.1-compatible and runs at 12 Mbps. To
use the USB port with this 1756-EN2TXT module, you must have
RSLinx software, version 2.55 or later, installed on your workstation.
Connect the USB Cable
Use a USB cable to connect your computer to the USB port. The
connection lets you download programs to controllers and configure
Ethernet modules directly from your computer.
If your installation of RSLinx software has not had a USB driver set
up, you will be prompted to install the required software. For more
information about setting-up a USB driver, see the EtherNet/IP
Modules in Logix5000 Control Systems User Manual, publication
ENET-UM001 .
WARNING
The USB port is intended for only for temporary local programming purposes
and is not intended for permanent connection. If you connect or disconnect the
USB cable with power applied to this module or any device on the USB
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.
A Samtec Inc. RSP-119350 USB cable is required to maintain hazardous
location certifications.
ATTENTION
USB cable length must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and must not contain hubs.
