RSLinx for Ethernet
RSLinx Station Address
of 9/Series
AB_ETH
Driver Number
Select the appropriate driver number for your configuration
This number corresponds to the AB_ETH driver configured in
RSLinx for Ethernet communication. The driver range is 01 to
64 (decimal). The default value is 01.
Select the station address that was mapped to the 9/Series control’s
IP address during RSLinx configuration. The address range is 0 to
63 (decimal). The default value is 0.
After you edit and save your AMP file, download it to the 9/PC so
that it is the currently active AMP file. You can use ODS to
download AMP files three ways:
•
from the local host PC into the 9/PC (refer to page 5--3)
•
from a separate network--connected ODS workstation that is
running Windows NT to the host PC and into the 9/PC card
•
from an ODS workstation running Microsoft Windows NT and
Dial--up Networking, connected to the serial port of the host PC
running Microsoft’s’ Remote Access Services (RAS), and into the
9/PC card
In all cases, the information you enter when creating the project is
used to direct the download to the correct 9/PC for this project. This
includes the host PC name and the topic name of the 9/PC card. This
project information can be changed at any time.
