5.2 Configuring the master (EtherNet/IP scanner)
The following example refers to the configuration of the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix
1769-L32E controller with RSLogix 5000 programming software. The EtherNet/IP inter-
face is already integrated in the CPU component of this controller.

exchange
In the following project planning example, the option DFE33B is added to a project. To
do so, go to the "Controller Organizer" screen in the RSLogix 5000 program as shown
in the screenshot below (use the tree structure on the left side of the screen).
• In the "IO Configuration" folder, select the entry "1769-L32E Ethernet Port
LocalENB" as the Ethernet communication interface. Click the right mouse button
and select "New Module" from the context menu. The selection window "Select
Module Type" appears.
• To add option DFE33B to the project, mark the entry "ETHERNET MODULE" in the
"Communications" category. Confirm your selection by clicking <OK>.
• The "New Module" window appears.
TIP
If a CPU without an EtherNet/IP interface is used, an Ethernet communication interface
must first be added to the IO configuration.
