Section 4 Configuration
Introduction
The Configuration section contains the configurations to be made from Control
Builder when setting up EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet networks.
Hardware Libraries
Hardware libraries are required for configuring CI873 and the hardware types of
EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices.
Insert the hardware library CI873EthernetHwLib in the project and add it under
Connected Libraries in the Controller in Control Builder.

For more information about handling hardware libraries, refer to System 800xA
Control, AC 800M Configuration (3BSE035980*) .
CI873 Hardware units
The CI873EthernetIPHWLib contains the hardware units for CI873, Linking Device
and their diagnostics.
The EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices need to be inserted in under CI873 in
hardware tree. Before importing the EDS files of EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, I/O
devices, user has to create new hardware library, if not exist, and then import the
EDS files into user created hardware library. Once the EDS file import is
successful then the hardware units for corresponding devices are created in the
user created library.
