Add a Switch to the I/O
Configuration Tree
To add the switch to the controller’s I/O tree, follow these steps.
1. Open the project file for the controller that monitors the switch.
2. Select the Ethernet module through which the controller communicates
with the switch.
In this example, the switch communicates through a 1769-L32E
CompactLogix EtherNet/IP controller.
3. Right-click the Ethernet port you created and choose New Module.
4. Click Communications.
IMPORTANT
These steps are required before you can go online to configure and monitor the
switch.
