RSLogix Configuration

This section details how to add the Ethernet/IP communications module as an I/O Module to the RSLogix software environment in a step-by-step fashion.  This requires the device to be first registered via the RSLinx software.  Once the configuration process is complete three new global controller tags (Input, Output, Configuration) will automatically be generated.

1. Ensure RSLogix is in offline mode.
2. Right click on the 1756-ENET/B Ethernet Bridge (or comparable) node and select “Add Module”.
3. Select the module type “Generic Ethernet Module” and then click “OK”.
4. Type an identifier for the Ethernet/IP communications module in the “Name” field.  This will identify controller tags.
5. Under Comm Format select “Data - SINT”
6. Click the “IP Address” radio button under the “Address/Host Name” label.  Enter the module IP address.

7. Under the “Connection Parameters” label enter the following settings:
    

   	Assembly Instance	Size (bytes)
   Input	0x65 (101d)	14
   Output	0x66 (102d)	22
   Configuration	0x80 (128d)	0

8. Click the “Connection” tab in the Module Properties dialog box.
9. In the “Requested Packet Interval (RPI)” field enter the value 10 (ms).
10. Click “OK”.  The RSLogix environment is now configured to communicate with the EIP interface module.
