HP MicroLogix 1761-NET-ENI Sending a Message to a Destination Controller (Nodes 0 to 49)

5-4Peer-to-Peer Messaging

Sending a Message to a Destination Controller (Nodes 0 to 49)

The ENI uses a pair of node addresses to send data messages over TCP/IP. For data, two sets of addresses are used as illustrated in the table below. Node numbers 100 to 149 are used to define or store the actual TCP/IP address, and nodes 0 to 49 are used to send the data to the destination.

Table 5.3 DF1 Message Routing

ENI Node(1)	Function	ENI Node	Function
0	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 100	100	Route 0 Address
1	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 101	101	Route 1 Address
2	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 102	102	Route 2 Address
3	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 103	103	Route 3 Address
↓	↓	↓	↓
48	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 148	148	Route 48 Address
49	Route DF1 MSG to IP@address 149	149	Route 49 Address

(1) See IMPORTANT note below about assigning Nodes to various devices.

	In the ENI, node addresses 45 through 49 are
IMPORTANT
	dedicated for sending messages to
	1756-ENET/ControlLogix controllers. When sending
	messages to a 1756-ENET/ControlLogix controller,
	the controller MUST be in slot 0 of the ControlLogix
	chassis for the message to be delivered to it.

Node addresses 0 through 44 are to be used for all other Ethernet devices, such as other 1769-L20 controllers connected to ENI modules and SLC 5/05 controllers.

The procedure to send configuration data (nodes 100 to 149), or data (nodes 0 to 49) is exactly the same as discussed previously in “Configuring ENI Data Parameters” on page 4-6.
