SLC 500 Controller Example

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 4.12

). In our example,

we will configure a SLC 500 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 500 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

, we

need to configure the adapter to accept the I/O and 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.
