EtherNet/IP Network
The CompactLogixâ„¢ 5480 controller operates on EtherNet/IPâ„¢ networks.
Remember, before your controller can operate on EtherNet/IP network, you
must configure a communication driver in RSLinx® Classic software. For more
information on how to configure a driver, see
Configure EtherNet/IP and USB
Drivers on Your Workstation on page 43.
This chapter describes how to use the Logix control engine of the
CompactLogix 5480 controller on an EtherNet/IP network.
The content in this chapter does not apply to port X1 unless noted.
For more information on how to use the COS and port X1, see Chapter 10,
Commercial Operating System on page 211.
Network Overview
The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control, configuration, and data
collection services by layering the Common Industrial Protocol (CIPâ„¢) over
the standard internet protocols, such as TCP/IP and UDP. This combination
of well-accepted standards provides the capability that is required to support
information data exchange and control applications.
The CompactLogix 5480 controllers use socket interface transactions and
conventional communication over the EtherNet/IP network to communicate
with Ethernet devices that do not support the EtherNet/IP application
protocol.
For more information on socket interface transactions, see
Socket Interface on
page 126.
