1-4About the Adapter

Cycle Power To a System For the First Time

Adapter Features

When you power POINT I/O for the first time, the adapter must assign addresses to every module in the backplane. POINT I/O modules all ship configured at the same address.

When you first apply power, we expect that all but one module on the backplane exhibits a solid red Module Status LED.

One by one the adapter resets these modules and addresses them appropriately. The amount of time that this operation takes is proportional to the size of your POINT I/O system.

The 1734-AENT adapter’s features include:

EtherNet/IP messages encapsulated within standard TCP/UDP/IP protocol

Common application layer with ControlNet and DeviceNet networks

Interfacing via Category 5 rated twisted pair cable

Half/full duplex 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit operation

DIN rail mounting

Communication to and from other POINT I/O modules on the same DIN rail

Communication supported by RSLinx software

IP address assigned via standard BootP or DHCP tools

I/O configuration via RSLogix 5000 software

No network scheduling required

No routing tables required

Support of connections from multiple controllers simultaneously
