2.4.1 Using CIPconnect to Connect to the Module

You can use CIPconnect

®

to connect a PC to the MVI56E-MNETC module over

Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP

®

module. This

allows you to configure the MVI56E-MNETC module and network, upload and
download files, and view network and module diagnostics from a PC. RSLinx is
not required when you use CIPconnect. All you need are:
 The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
 The ControlNet node numbers and slot numbers of any 1756-CNBx

ControlNet Bridge modules in the path

 The slot number of the MVI56E-MNETC in the destination ControlLogix

chassis (the last ENBT/CNBx and chassis in the path).

To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
