1.8.1 CIPconnect
You can use CIPconnect
®
to connect a PC to the MVI56E-MNETR module over
Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP ® module. This
allows you to configure the MVI56E-MNETR 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:
ƒ The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
ƒ The ControlNet node numbers and slot numbers of any 1756-CNBx
ControlNet Bridge modules in the path
ƒ The slot number of the MVI56E-MNETR in the destination ControlLogix
chassis (the last ENBT/CNBx and chassis in the path).
To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
1 In the S ET C ONNECTION T YPE dropdown list, choose 1756-ENBT. The default
