4.3 Using a PLC
4.3.1 EIP
Many of the set-up procedures in this section require an EIP system. In this section, the
Allen Bradley system is used.
Note:
The HI 6200 is not compatible with the obsolete HI 215IT Junction Boxes.
Make sure the HI 6200 is installed with the HI6020IT, HI 6020JB, HI 6010IT or HI
6010JB Junction Boxes. It is compatible with the HI 215JB without the IT functions.
4.3.2 Setting Up Communications
The following procedure describes how to set up communications between the ControlLogix
PLC and the HI 6200. This procedure requires a new or open RS Logix® 5000 project. For
