2.7.1 Using CIPconnect

®

to Connect to the Module

You can use CIPconnect

®

to connect a PC to the ProSoft Technology MVI56E-

MCMR mod

ule over Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT

EtherNet/IP

®

module. This allows you to configure the MVI56E-MCMR network

settings and view module diagnostics from a PC. RSLinx is not required when
you use CIPconnect. All you need are:
 The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
 The slot number of the MVI56E-MCMR in the destination ControlLogix

chassis (the last ENBTx and chassis in the path).

To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
