Configuring the I/O
This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a CompactLogix
controller to communicate with the Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter and
connected PowerFlex 520-series drive.
Using RSLinx Classic
RSLinx Classic, in all its variations (Lite, Gateway, OEM, and so on), is used to
provide a communication link between the computer, network, and controller.
RSLinx Classic requires its network-specific driver to be configured before
communications are established with network devices. To configure the
RSLinx driver:
1.
Start RSLinx and select Communications > Configure Drivers to display
the Configure Drivers window.
2.
From the Available Driver Types pull-down box, choose “EtherNet/IP
Driver” and then click Add New… to display the Add New RSLinx Driver
window.
3.
Use the default name or type a name and click OK. The “Configure
driver:” window appears.
4.
Depending on your application, select either the browse local or remote
subnet option, and click OK. The Configure Drivers window reappears
with the new driver in the Configured Drivers list.
5.
Click Close to close the Configure Drivers window. Keep RSLinx
running.
