Integration in an Allen-Bradley PLC
Following chapters deal with the integration and operation of the EMGZ321._.EIP
amplifier with an Allen-Bradley PLC. The project software RSLogix5000 from Allen-
Bradley is required to program the PLC. Furthermore, it is assumed that a
development system with PC and corresponding development software RSLogix
5000 from Rockwell Automation is available and the programmer is familiar with
these tools..
6.1
Hardware Environment
The EMGZ321._.EIP must be connected to an Ethernet switch which in turn is in the
same network as the PLC. Only in this way a communication between amplifier and
PLC can take place. Several EMGZ321._.EIP amplifiers or other Erthernet devices
can be connected to the same network.
6.2
IP Configuration
In an industrial environment the IP addresses are normally assigned fix to the EIP
devices. This holds also for the EMGZ321._.EIP amplifier that needs a fix IP address
in the network. The IP address configuration must take place before the amplifier is
integrated in a network. This is done over the operation panel or over the web
interface.
The procedures are described in the state diagrams chapter 8.8 (Fig. 25) and
chapter 9 (Fig.34)
6.3
Integration in a Project
Before starting the development system RSLogix5000 the PLC and amplifier need
to be connected to the network and powered-up. Now a new project or an existing
project can be opened in RSLogix5000. Search in the tree structure

for the listing Ethernet and make a right mouse click (see Fig. 10).
