2.4.1 Using CIPconnect to Connect to the Module
You can use CIPconnect
®
to connect a PC to the MVI56E-MNETCR module over
Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP
®
module. This
allows you to configure the MVI56E-MNETCR module and network, upload and
download files, and view network and module diagnostics from a PC. RSLinx is
not required when you use CIPconnect. All you need are:
The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
The ControlNet node numbers and slot numbers of any 1756-CNBx
ControlNet Bridge modules in the path
The slot number of the MVI56E-MNETCR in the destination ControlLogix
chassis (the last ENBT/CNBx and chassis in the path).
To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
