 AB_ETH-1\128.1.100.82\Backplane\2\A\10\Port2\6, path from the FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix server, via Ethernet to a ControlLogix Gateway with IP address
128.1.100.82, via ControlNet to a 1788-CN2DN bridge module, via DeviceNet to
a Powermonitor 3000 with node address (MAC ID) 6
 AB_ETH-1\128.1.100.82\Backplane\2\A\5, path from the FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix server, via Ethernet to the same ControlLogix gateway as in the
previous example, via ControlNet to a Powermonitor 3000 with node address
(MAC ID) 5
All communication paths begin at the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server. Select the
end point of communication paths according to these rules:
 For PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers used as Remote I/O parent devices, the
communication path extends to the network address of the PLC-5 or SLC 500
processor (see first example above)
 For ControlLogix controllers used as Remote I/O parent devices, the
communication path extends to the slot number of the 1756-DHRIO module (see
second example above). The DHRIO module must be configured and owned by a
ControlLogix processor and the RIO devices must be properly configured in the
processor's I/O tree under that DHRIO module.
 For direct connect devices, the communication path extends through all
communication hops to the device's communication port (see third example
above). DeviceNet power monitors are always configured as direct connect
whether using an RSLinx direct or pass-thru driver.
 For 1803-EEM Ethernet Energy Module, the following applies:
 If the 1803-EEM is based on a SLC 500 controller, the path extends to the
network (IP) address of the SLC 5/05
 If the 1803-EEM is based on a ControlLogix controller, the path extends through
the ControlLogix processor module.
For example: AB_ETH-1\128.1.100.134\Backplane\0, where 0 is the processor
slot.
To use RSLinx Classic to help determine the correct path, following these steps:
1. Access the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server and open RSLinx Classic
2. From the RSLinx Classic main menu, select Communication > Configure Shortcuts
3. Using RSWho, drill down to the network or parent device as applicable. Note the path
shown at the top of the window
4. Copy the entire path and paste it into the Communication path field in the device
configuration screen in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix. You can optionally omit the
computer name at the beginning of the path (up to and including the exclamation point
delimiter)
5. If the path ends on a network, add a ‘\’ delimiter and the device address at the end of
the shortcut path
