PLC-5 Controller Example

Important: The PLC-5 controller must be Series E (Rev. D.1 or higher) to

support the MultiHop feature that routes messaging to the drive.

After the adapter is configured, the connected drive and adapter will be a
single node on the network. This section provides the steps needed to
configure a simple EtherNet/IP network (see

Figure 4.5

). In our example, we

will configure a PLC-5/40E controller to communicate with a drive using
Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks over the network.

Configuring Parameters for Network I/O

Because the I/O for the drive is message-based, there is no need to configure
any I/O inside the RSLogix 5 project, version 7.00 or later, until using the
I/O as described in

Chapter 5

However, to get the adapter to operate with the I/O created in

Chapter 5

, you

need to configure the adapter to accept the I/O and the drive to point to the
appropriate Datalinks.

1. Set adapter Parameters 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg], 35 - [M-S Input], and 36 -

[M-S Output] to values that meet your application requirements.

For this example, the adapter I/O parameters are set to these values.

2. Reset the adapter (see

Resetting the Adapter on page 3-16

) or power

cycle the drive.
