Configuring the I/O
Chapter 4

Click OK.
The bridge is now configured for the EtherNet/IP network, added to the
RSLogix 5000 project, and appears in the I/O Configuration folder.
In our example, a 1756-ENBT bridge appears under the I/O
Configuration folder with its assigned name.
There are two ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:
•
Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)
•
Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)
These are described in the following separate sections. If your version of RSLogix
5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use this
method.
Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later
When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000
drive Add-on Profiles provide these advantages:
•
Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for basic
control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback)
and
Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the
drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles virtually
eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive
configuration time.
•
New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software
configuration tool.
•
Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later, project file (.ACD) and also downloaded
to the controller.
•
Unicast connection (RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or later)
