This section is meant as a quick start for adding your gateway to a Com-
pactLogix system. The process is applicable for all Rockwell
PLCs that
support I/O messaging to ETHERNET/IP™ Adapter devices.
This document assumes a certain level of knowledge of the Rockwell
Au
tomation environment and starts from a properly configured base
project for your PLC. It also assumes you have a valid connection to the
PLC (via RSLinx) to download the program.
This document also assumes the EDS file
was properly
imported into RSLogix5000
using the EDS Hardware Installation Tool
from Rockwell Automation.
