9.2.11 ControlLogix Example: EDS Add-On Profile (AOP)
This section will demonstrate how to setup and use an EtherNet/IP I/O connection via EDS Add-On
Profile. This example only applies to RSLogix5000 V20 (and later) that support EDS Add-On Profile.
Otherwise, refer to the I/O examples in section 9.2.12. This section must be completed prior to
attempting any of the following AOP example(s).
EtherNet/IP I/O messaging allows the inverter’s function codes to be directly mapped into tags in the
ControlLogix PLC. Once an I/O connection is established, it is automatically synchronized at an interval
defined by the Requested Packet Interval (RPI).
