Prepare the Computer and Load Controller Firmware Chapter 2
Set the IP Address for the Computer
Your computer requires an Internet Protocol (IP) address to operate on an EtherNet/IP
network. The IP address uniquely identifies the controller and is in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where each xxx is a number from 000…254 with some exceptions for reserved values.
A computer’s IP address can be set automatically or manually. The manual option is typically
used with isolated networks. This section describes how to set the IP address manually.
For more information on setting an IP address for your CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller, see
the CompactLogix 5370 Controllers User Manual, publication 1769-UM021
