it initiate messaging transactions. Therefore, an active EtherNet/IP device or client is required to
control the RMC or request data from the RMC.
As of this writing, the only EtherNet/IP client available is the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC.
Therefore, much of this documentation is geared toward setting up EtherNet/IP between RMCs
and ControlLogix PLCs. As we expect more EtherNet/IP products to emerge as this technology
gains popularity, we have included generic (non-ControlLogix) information that can be used to set
up RMCs with other EtherNet/IP controllers, most importantly the RMC EtherNet/IP Object Model
topic.
5.2.6.3.2 Configuring an RMC EtherNet/IP I/O Connection for the ControlLogix
Allen-Bradley's RSLogix 5000 software is used to set up an I/O connection between an RMC and
a ControlLogix PLC. This topic describes how to set up this connection.
1. Start RSLogix 5000 and open the project to which you want to add an RMC I/O connection.
2. In the Controller Organization window, add a 1756-ENET/B or 1756-ENBT/A module under the
I/O Configuration item. If the ControlLogix Ethernet module that you want to use already exists,
then skip this step. Otherwise, refer to the Ethernet module's manual for details on adding the
module.
3. In the Controller Organization window, right click on the 1756-ENET/B or 1756-ENBT/A under
which you want to add the RMC. The following shortcut menu will be displayed:
