PLC programming
ControlLogix 5000
When using a ControlLogix PLC as an 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
