Configure the EtherNet/IP Network
In this chapter, you assign an IP address to your CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller.
This quick start does not describe how to use other devices on the EtherNet/IP network. It is
common, however, to use other devices on an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L1
control system. If you were to do so, for example, use a PanelView Plus terminal on an
EtherNet/IP network, you need to assign an IP address to those devices.
IMPORTANT
Not all tasks described in this quick start are required to complete the final task, that is, use ladder logic to test a
1769-OB16 output module as described beginning on
. For example, you do not need to install an
EtherNet/IP network to connect to a CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller because you can do so over a USB cable.
We expect that you might attempt to complete additional tasks with your control system by using the publications
listed on
relating to using a component over an EtherNet/IP network in a Logix5000 control system. When you
use those publications, some assumptions are made. For example, if you use POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP
network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system, you must have already created a Logix Designer project and have an
IP address assigned to the controller.
If you complete all of the tasks described in this chapter, you can easily complete the tasks described in the publications
listed on
related to using an EtherNet/IP network.
