5.1.2 Configuring the gateway's communication parameters
The dialog box that follows, "Module properties...,"
Figure 28 is used to
configure important properties that are required in order to ensure that the
controller and the gateway will be able to communicate successfully. One
one hand, these include information regarding the relevant Ethernet connec-
tion parameters, such as the IP address and information regarding the type
and volume of I/O data.
I/O data is provided by the gateway in byte format.
▶
Accordingly, make sure to first select the "SINT" data type for the "Com-
munication format" parameter.
You will need the project file that you created with the SWD-Assist planning
program in order to enter the additional necessary information manually.

the RSLogix 5000 V19.01.00 PLC programming environment
▶
Use SWD-Assist to open your SmartWire-DT project file, e.g., "Exam-
ple.swd".
▶
Select the EU5C-SWD-EIP-MODTCP gateway and open the "Device
information" tab.
▶
Now copy the values for the inputs', outputs', and configuration data vol-
umes found in SWD-Assist to the corresponding fields in the
RSLogix 5000 parameter dialog box by hand
▶
After doing so, open the "Ethernet parameters" tab in SWD-Assist.
▶
Now copy the Ethernet address values for the gateway to the
RSLogix 5000 PLC programming environment's parameter dialog box.
This will ensure that the PLC programming environment will recognize and
know the gateway, together with its important communication parameters,
as well as the corresponding data and configuration volumes.
