ControlLogix System Communications
A ControlLogix system consists of anything from your FactoryTalk Historian ME
and a stand-alone controller in a single chassis to more complex configurations that
include Ethernet/IP communication modules. The ControlLogix system in a chassis
uses connections to establish communication links between devices such as a
Logix5000 controller-to-local communication modules such as an EN2T or ENBT
module. RSLogix™ 5000 programming software and RSLinx Classic™ software are
used to facilitate communication and connections in the ControlLogix system.
