Software

Before starting RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP software and configuring
the GuardPLC controller’s scanlist, make sure the GuardPLC controller
is in the STOP/VALID CONFIGURATION state, or RSNetWorx for
EtherNet/IP software will generate an error.

1. Start RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP software.

2. To create a new configuration, from the File menu, choose New.

3. To go online, click the online button or, from the Network

menu, choose Online.

Your EtherNet/IP devices appear in the graphic view.

TIP

You may see icons overlaying the devices when you first
go online. This is normal and only indicates the status of
the offline versus the online configuration. Once you
complete the configuration, the symbols disappear.
