Creating an IP Address On Control Logix

This is the basic standart knowledge, but i want to share it because i ever get little confusing to create one.

Fisrt you must get serial connection to controller before you setup and IP address to the ethernet modulle.Follow this procedure to create DF1 Communication.

• Connect your laptop computer to the ControlLogix controller through the serial port, under t he front cover of its main panel.

Serial Port on the ControlLogix Controller

• Start RSLinx Classic program from Start/Programs/Rockwell Software/ RSLinx/RSLinx Classic.
• Click RSWho and If there is no serial connection with a file name including DF1, select Communications/Configure Drivers.
• In the pull down menu labeled Available Driver Types, select RS- 232 DF1 devices and click Add New. Also use this screen to configure other devices, such as Ethernet.

Select RS-232 DF1 devices for Serial Connection

• In the pop-up window select a name for this driver and click Ok.
• Another pop-up lets you configure the driver.

Configuring Serial Connection in RSLinx

• Click Ok to close this window and accept settings. The serial connection should now be available when you add the IP address at ControlLogix IP Address on ethernet modulle.

Now Lets define an IP addres on control Logix

Follow the procedure below to check that there is an IP Address, or to define an IP Address for ControlLogix PLC:

• Connect your laptop computer to the ControlLogix controller through the serial port, under t he front cover of its main panel.

• Start RSLinx Classic program from Start/Programs/Rockwell Software/ RSLinx/RSLinx Classic.

• In RSLinx, click RSWho and expand the serial connection, usually labeled DF1. This should display the ControlLogix controller you are connected to.

• If there is a controller, expand it until you see the Ethernet module (example: 1756-EBNT/A) connected to the backplane of the ControlLogix chassis. If this is displayed with an IP address, network mask, and gateway address, you are done. If not, continue.

Navigating to the Ethernet module of ControlLogix in RSLinx

• To create a serial connection, go to Configuring Serial Drive in RSLinx section.
• Right click on the Ethernet module and select Module Configuration.

• In the pop-up window, select the Port Configuration tab.

• Set the IP Address, Network Mask, and Gateway Address as listed below.

• IP Address: 134.201.205.1

• Network Mask: 255.255.255.0

• Gateway Address: 0.0.0.0 (blank)

• The IP Address for the ControlLogix controller has now been set. Some Ethernet modules will scroll the IP Address in its display. Check this to ensure IP is correct.

• You should now see the controller under your Ethernet connection in RSLinx
