ENI Configuration (Node 248 to 254)

4-5

 

 

Controller Messaging

When using this method, a write message is used to configure the TCP/IP configuration parameters. A CIF write message is initiated to the controller. CIF stands for Common Interface File and is supported by all Allen-Bradley programmable controllers that have an RS-232 port.

The first item to configure is the ENI’s IP address on your network. See the following section, Configuring ENI Data Parameters, for that configuration procedure.

IMPORTANT

The IP addresses in any of the examples in this manual were arbitrarily assigned and should only be used on an isolated Ethernet network. Contact your system administrator for unique IP addresses if you are connecting your Ethernet devices to your employer’s Ethernet network.

The configuration parameters are described in more detail later in this chapter.
