Chapter 3 Configure an EtherNet/IP Communication Module to Operate on the Network
4. In the Studio 5000 environment, add the module to the I/O configuration
tree.
See Add an I/O Module on page 50 .
Use EtherNet/IP
Communication Modules in a
Logix5000 Controller
Application After installing an EtherNet/IP communication module and setting its IP
address, add the module to the Controller Organizer in a Studio 5000
Environment project. This addition establishes I/O control.
You must download that project to the host controller before operation can
begin. When the controller begins operation, it establishes a connection with the
EtherNet/IP communication module. The module’s configuration determines its
behavior.
For more information on connecting a workstation to and configuring it for use
on an EtherNet/IP network, see
Configure a Workstation to Operate on an
EtherNet/IP Network on page 13 .
For more information on controlling I/O, see Control I/O on page 47 .
IMPORTANT If a child module resides in the same domain as its parent module,
just type the host name. If the child module’s domain differs from
that of its parent module, type the host name and the domain
name (host.domain)
IMPORTANT You can also use DNS addressing in a module profile in the I/O
controller tree or in a message path. If the destination module’s
domain name differs from that of the source module, use a fully-
qualified DNS name (hostname.domainname). For example, to
send a message from ENBT1.location1.companyA to
ENTB1.location2.companyA, the host names match, but the
domains differ. Without the entry of a fully qualified DNS name, the
module adds the default domain name to the specified host name.
