Using CIPconnect
®
to Connect to the Module
You can use CIPconnect
®
to connect a PC to the ProSoft Technology MVI56E-
GSC module over Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT
EtherNet/IP
®
module. This allows you to configure the MVI56E-GSC network
settings and view 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 slot number of the MVI56E-GSC in the destination ControlLogix chassis
(the last ENBTx and chassis in the path).
To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
