Quick Start

1-5

A. Be sure channel 3A is designated as the channel supporting the

1785-ENET module.

Your programming software must support configuration for
channel 3A.

The PLC-5 processor must contain the proper firmware
revision. See chapter 2.

If you are configuring online and the interface module is
attached to the processor, channel 3A will automatically
support the interface module.

If you are configuring offline, follow the steps listed in your
programming software documentation.

B. Specify Ethernet-specific configuration information (including

the IP address) using any one of these methods:

manually configure channel 3A using your programming
software

use a BOOTP server already on your network (see your
Ethernet network administrator for assistance).

Rockwell Automation offers a BOOTP tool on
http://www.ab.com

Important: Assign a diagnostics file to store all status information for
channel 3A. Use your programming software to select an unused
integer file number (10-999). The software creates an integer file that
is 44 words long.

Step 7

Configure channel 3A for Ethernet communication.
