PLC programming
ControlLogix 5000
When using a ControlLogix PLC as a PowerXL EIP master,
you must first configure a compatible EtherNet/IP scanner,
and then map ladder logic variables to the scanner.
The following example is for an RSLogix5000 with a
CompactLogix-L23E-QB1 PLC controller.
ote:N Some PLCs do not support polled messaging for
EtherNet/IP. For example, the SLC500 only supports
explicit messaging.
Select windows Start → All Programs. Open RSLogix 5000.
From the Tools drop-down menu, select EDS Hardware
Installation Tool to install the PowerXL Drive EtherNet/
IP EDS file. This file can be downloaded from the
