4.3 Configuring the Network Master
4.3.1 Master Support Files
Some EtherNet/IP master configuration software utilises Electronic Data Sheet (eds) files to configure
the network profile and communications with the relevant devices. Some use this file for automatic tag
generation. The SMV eds file is available on the CD ROM that ships with the module and on the Lenze-AC
Tech website.
4.3.2 Configuring a Scanner or Bridge
To configure a simple network like the network illustrated in Figure 14, follow the steps in section 4.3.3.
This example uses an Allen-Bradley 1769-L32E CompactLogix controller to communicate with SMV drives
using implicit I/O messaging over an ethernet network. The controller has a scanner (bridge) that needs to
be configured. The I/O assembly object instances will be used for status, input and output data and to map
them in the controller memory.

4.3.3 Adding a Bridge or Scanner to the I/O Configuration
To establish communications over an EtherNet/IP network, add the controller and its scanner or bridge to
the I/O configuration.
1.
Start RSLogix 5000
The RSLogix 5000 window opens as illustrated in Figure 14. For the CompactLogix L32E controller,
the I/O configuration already includes a local Ethernet port.
If a SoftLogic controller or ControlLogix controller is used then an Ethernet port scanner needs to
be added as illustrated in Figure 15.
NOTE
The PLC must be
Offline
as shown in Figure 15, otherwise it is not possible to add
the new module.
