EtherNet/IP Interface 5 - 7
Table 5-1 refers to Figure 5-6.
Configuring Using Generic EtherNet/IP Module
The I/O communications with the EA3600 may also be configured using a Generic EtherNet/IP Module. This is the
required means of configuration for RSLogix versions earlier than v20; however, it may also be used in versions 20
and later, if desired.
Adding the EA3600 to the I/O Configuration
In order for the PLC to communicate with the EA3600, it must be added to the I/O Configuration in the program.
To add the PLC to the I/O configuration program:
1. Expand the I/O configuration tree in the Organizer pane to display the Ethernet network interface.

2. Right click on the Ethernet interface node in the tree and select New Module…
