Mitsubishi Electronics ETH-1000 manual Connecting Devices to the Network

Chapter 3 Connecting Devices to the Network

The steps of configuring the IP addresses of the ControlLogix PLC system, the ICC ETH-1000 module, and the PLC are documented in this chapter.

3.1 Changing the IP Address of the ControlLogix System

The minimum configuration of a ControlLogix system consists of a ControlLogix chassis (e.g. 1756-A7), a power supply (e.g. 1756-PA72), a ControlLogix Controller (e.g. 1756-L61), and an EtherNet/IP module (e.g. 1756-ENBT).

The steps here document the procedure to modify the IP address of a 1756-ENBT module to add the ControlLogix system on the same network with the Mitsubishi PLC and the ICC ETH-1000 module. It is assumed that there is already an IP address assigned to the ENBT module. If configuring a brand new ENBT module is necessary, please consult the user manual of the Rockwell ENBT module.

1.Power on the Rockwell system and monitor the display scrolling across the front of the ENBT module. If the module is working properly, the message “OK Rev x.x.x IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4” should scroll across the display. Rev x.x.x is the revision number of the module firmware, and IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4 forms the current IP address of the module. For example, the message is “OK Rev 2.3.1 192.168.1.30”

2.Connect a configuration PC on the network. Change the IP address of the PC to be in the same subnet as the 1756 ENBT module.

•Note: it is assumed that changing the IP address on a PC is known by the users of this manual. If required, please consult Windows OS Help File.

3.Open the RSLinx Classic on the configuration PC and select Communications -> RSWho and expand the tree to see the following screen showing the system configuration:
