Configuring the I/O

6.

Verify that your computer recognizes the drive. Select Communications >
RSWho

and, in the menu tree, click the “+” symbol next to the Ethernet

driver.

7.

Note that two other RSLinx drivers (Ethernet devices or Remote Devices
through Linx Gateway) may be used. Use one of these drivers if the
“EtherNet/IP Driver” cannot see your drive.

CompactLogix Example

After the adapter is configured, the drive and adapter will be a single node on the
network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a simple EtherNet/
IP network. In our example, we will configure a 1769-L36ERM CompactLogix
controller with embedded EtherNet/IP capability to communicate with a drive
using Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and eight Datalinks (four to
read and four to write) over the network.

Adding the Controller to the I/O Configuration

To establish communications between the controller and drive over the network,
you must first add the CompactLogix controller and its embedded EtherNet/IP
bridge to the I/O configuration.
