equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for
solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of
this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or
application of this equipment.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-IN090A-EN-P - February 2012
Status Indicators
The adapter uses four status indicators to report its operating status.
Set the IP Network Address
The E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter is shipped with Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) enabled. You
can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address by using the BOOTP/DHCP server that is
provided with RSLinx Classic software. This utility recognizes BOOTP-enabled devices and
provides an interface to configure a static IP address for each device.
To assign network parameters via the BOOTP/DHCP utility, perform this procedure.
1. Start the BOOTP/DHCP software.
Item Name Color State Description
1 PORT Green Flashing Normal Operation. The adapter is establishing an I/O connection to the E3 Plus
overload relay. It will turn steady green or red.
2 MOD Steady Normal Operation. The adapter is properly connected and communicating with
the E3 Plus overload relay.
3 NET A Green Flashing Normal Operation. The adapter is operating but is not transferring I/O data to a
controller.
4 NET B Steady Normal Operation. The adapter is operating and transferring I/O data to a
controller.

2. Select Tool > Network Settings and enter the subnet mask for the network.
If appropriate for the network, enter the gateway address, primary/secondary server
addresses, and domain name.
3. Click OK.
The Request History panel displays the hardware addresses of devices issuing BOOTP
or DHCP requests.
4. Double-click the MAC address of the adapter to be configured.
The MAC address is printed on the side of the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter. The format
of the hardware address resembles 00:00:BC:59:72:5A. The New Entry dialog box
appears with the module's Ethernet Address (MAC).

5. Enter the IP address for the adapter and, if appropriate, enter the host name and an
adapter description.
6. Click OK.
Once the IP address you entered shows up in the Request History panel (you may need
to cycle power to the adapter), this configuration can be permanently assigned to the
adapter.
7. To do so, highlight the adapter in the Relation List panel and click Disable
BOOTP/DHCP.
8. Confirm that the Status panel message reads, ‘[Disable BOOTP] Command successful’.
When the adapter power is recycled, it will use the assigned configuration and will not
issue a BOOTP request. If you do not click Disable BOOTP/DHCP, the adapter clears
the current IP configuration after a power cycle and will again begin sending BOOTP
requests.

Install EDS File
Before the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter is configured to communicate on an EtherNet/IP
network, it must be registered to the software that configures the network, for example, RSLinx
Classic software. You can register the adapter by installing an electronic data sheet (EDS file).
For the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter, you will install an EDS file for the device that is connected
to the adapter. Use the following procedure to download and register the EDS file for the E3 Plus
EtherNet/IP adapter.
Download EDS file from the EDS Website
The EDS file for the device connected to the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter can be found at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/eds/.
1. When the web page for the link above comes up, enter the following information.
2. Select the file that relates to the E3 or 825-P module that is connected to the
2100-ENET unit.
3. In the Details & Download column for the device, select Download.
4. Click Save to save the EDS file to your personal computer.
Register the EDS File
After the EDS file has been downloaded, you need to register the EDS file with the software that
configures the EtherNet/IP network. Follow these steps to register an EDS file with RSLinx
Classic software.
1. Start the EDS Hardware Installation Tool at Start->Programs->Rockwell
Software->RSLinx->Tools.
2. Click Add to register a new device.

Logix Controller I/O Messaging
RSLogix 5000 software is used to configure I/O messaging between a Logix controller and an E3
Plus EtherNet/IP adapter on an EtherNet/IP network. Follow these steps to configure a Logix
controller for I/O messaging.
1. Right-click on the EtherNet/IP scanner in I/O Configuration and select New Module
to open the Select Module Type dialog box.
2. Select Generic Ethernet Module and click OK.
3. Enter a name for the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter.
The name creates a tag in RSLogix 5000 software that can be used to read and write data
from the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter.

10 E3 Plus EtherNet/IP Adapter
Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-IN090A-EN-P - February 2012
4. Select Data-INT for the Comm Format.
The Comm Format tells RSLogix 5000 software the format of the data. The Data-INT
format represents the data from the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter as a field of 16-bit
values.
5. Set the Connection Parameters.
I/O data is accessed using Input Instance 100 and Output Instance 103 (for E3
standard) or 105 (for E3 Plus) by default.
The size of the input connection and the output connection shall correspond to the size
of the chosen instance. For Instance 100, the size is 6. For Instances 103 and 105, the size
is 1. The E3 Plus EtherNet/IP adapter Configuration Assembly Instance is 6. Currently,
the 2100-ENET adapter does not support the configuration assembly.
IMPORTANT
If you have already changed the Input and Output Assemblies, you will need to enter those
values instead of the default values.
