2.4.1 Using CIPconnect to Connect to the Module

CIPconnect

®

can be used to connect a PC to the MVI56E-SIE module over

Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP

®

module. This

allows for configuringof the MVI56E-SIE module and network, uploading and
downloading of files, and viewing of network and module diagnostics from a PC.
RSLinx is not required when using CIPconnect. All that is needed:
 The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
 The ControlNet node numbers and slot numbers of any 1756-CNBx

ControlNet Bridge modules in the path

 The slot number of the MVI56E-SIE in the destination ControlLogix chassis

(the last ENBT/CNBx and chassis in the path).
