Add the 1715-AENTR Adapter
to the I/O Configuration
Tree
Once the project, controller and Ethernet module are configured, you are ready
to add the 1715 adapter. In this section, you do the following:
• Add the 1715-AENTR adapter to the project.
• Configure the adapter for the EtherNet/IP Network.
Step 1: Configure the Adapter for the EtherNet/IP Network
Plan IP addresses by doing the following:
• You must use two IP addresses.
• You must know the subnet mask for the Ethernet network the redundant
modules are to operate on.
Options for Setting the IP Addresses of 1715-AENTR Modules
You can set the IP address of the redundant AENTR modules in the adapter
base by using the following:
• A BOOTP/DHCP utility. A BOOTP/DHCP utility is provided with the
Logix Designer application out of the box. See Step 1: Assign an IP
Address on the BOOTP/DHCP Server on page 123.
IMPORTANT
The previous ControlLogix® Controller Organizer Tree shows a
1756-EN2TR module. The 1756-EN2TR can be used in Star (using
only one port), Device Level, or Linear ring topologies, or you can
use a 1756-EN2T module instead.
