Configuring the

Scanner or Bridge

Chapter 5 provides instructions on how to configure a ControlLogix
bridge to communicate with the module and connected MD65 drive.

5.1

Configuring a Simple Network: An
Example

After the module is configured, the connected drive and module will
be a single node on the network. This chapter provides the steps
that are needed to configure a simple network like the network in
figure 5.1.

In our example, we will configure a 1756-ENBT (series A) bridge to
communicate with a drive using Logic Command/Status and
Reference/Feedback over the network.
