Chapter 2 Replacement Considerations with ControlLogix 5580 and GuardLogix 5580 Systems
Devices Excluded from the Node Count
Ethernet devices that exist on the EtherNet/IP network but are not added to
the I/O configuration of the project do not count as nodes. These items are not
added to the I/O configuration and are not considered nodes:
•Computer
• EtherNet/IP communication modules that reside in the local chassis
with the controller
• HMI that is not added to the I/O configuration section
•MSG instruction
• Standard Ethernet devices for which the controller uses a socket
interface to communicate
New Project Dialog Box
When you create a project with a 5580 controller, the Module Definition
dialog box appears. The dialog box provides standard controller settings, along
with additional security settings. The information that is entered in this dialog
box displays on the Controller Properties General tab and Security tab.
