Appendix C: Graco Gateway to ControlLogix via Ethernet IP

Overview

This appendix describes the configuration steps neces- sary to establish a communication path between the Graco Gateway and a ControlLogix unit. You will need either a 1756-ENET/B or a 1756-ENBT/A together with a Logix5550 controller. It may be possible to upgrade a 1756-ENET/A to the required 1756-ENET/B by flashing the firmware; you should check the hardware version with your vendor before hand to ensure its suitability. You will also need Rockwell Software’s RSLinx and RSLogix 5000 software configuration utilities.

Introduction

In the following example, the ControlLogix will establish a Class1 connection and I/O data will be exchanged between the ControlLogix and the Graco Gateway termi- nal. The network parameters used in this example will almost certainly not apply to your application. Be sure to consult your network administrator when selecting appropriate values.
