LOGIX CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING OVER
CONTROLNET
The ControlNet Router can be used to Program or Go-Online with a Logix Controller on a
legacy ControlNet network from an EtherNet/IP network via the ControlNet Router. The
ControlNet Router will use the unscheduled ControlNet bandwidth to access the other nodes
on the ControlNet network (e.g. programming a Logix controller).

RSLINX SETUP
The user will need to setup the path to the Logix Controller to access the Logix controller in
RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000. The ControlNet
Router’s EDS file must be registered on the
programming PC. This can be achieved in two ways:
•
Uploading the EDS file from the ControlNet Router online, or
•
Downloading the EDS file from the Aparian website and manually registering it.
