Using RSLinx
Ethernet Driver
This driver is used to communicate to PLCs with serial RS232 DF1 communication.
To configure the RSLinx/RSLogix to use the Ethernet driver, first ensure that you have configured the
515RTAENI to match the serial settings on your serial PLC and that you have configured the Ethernet
Network settings to something suitable to your network.
1)
In RSLinx, sel ect ‘Configure Drivers…’ from the ‘Communications’ menu.
2)
If you already have an Ethernet driver configured and wish to add the 515RTAENI to that driver,
simply add a new node
to the driver with the 515RTAENI’s IP address.
3)
If you do not have an Ethernet d river configured, select ‘Ethernet Devices’ from the ‘Available Driver
Types’ dropdown then click ‘Add New…’ and supply it with a suitable name in the resulting popup.
4)
Enter the IP address of the 515RTAENI into the ‘Host Name’ entry for Station 0 and click OK .
5)
Your serial PLC should now be accessible via the Ethernet driver. If not accessible, verify the serial
settings in the 515RTAENI with your PLC. If you do not know the serial settings for your PLC, then
reference the PLC Serial Setting section of the 515RTAENI Use Case doc located on the CD.

IMPORTANT: In RSLinx, the EDS file for the 515RTAENI must be installed for RSLinx to recognize the
device type. The EDS file can be downloaded from the product CD or via the Utilities tab of the
515RTAENI web user interface. Use the Rockwell EDS Hardware Installation Tool on the computer with
RSLinx to install the 515RTAENI EDS file. Please note that the Rockwell EDS Hardware Installation Tool
may require you to first copy the
EDS file from the CD to your computer.

Note: EtherNet/IP drivers may still be used. It’s best to use Ethernet drivers, that way you can
see all 515RTAENI IP addresses that have been entered in manually. The disadvantage of an
EtherNet/IP driver is any PLC connected serially won’t show in the EtherNet/IP driver sections.
