4. EtherNet/IP configuration
To configure the PLC and the EtherNet/IP network the tool RSLogix 5000 is used. Firstly the PLC needs to
be configured and secondly the EtherNet/IP network. Start the RSLogix 5000 program and follow the steps
below.
4.1. PLC configuration
Either create a new project or use an existing. To create a new configuration, open the file menu and select
new. In the appearing dialogue select the desired type of PLC, in this case the type 1756-L55 is used. Also
enter a name for the controller and select chassis type, slot number and project path. To accept the settings
press OK.
Figure 2 Adding the PLC to the configuration.
Then add the Ethernet I/O module. Right click on the I/O configuration directory in the navigation list to the
left as seen below.

4.2. EtherNet/IP network configuration
The second step is to configure the EtherNet/IP network and adding the Anybus-S Slave module to the
configuration in the PLC. Begin with setting the program in “Offline” moden. Then right click on the
EtherNet/IP bridge in the I/O configuration, and select “New Module”o.

In the next dialogue window, RSLogix 5000 will ask for information regarding the communication to the
Anybus-S Slave module. First enter a name for the Anybus-S Slave modulen. In the example below we call
it “Anybus”. This name will create a tag in RSLogix 5000, which can be used to access the memory location
in the PLCs memory where the data for the Anybus-S Slave module will be stored. A description can also be
added, but that is optional.

Figure 8 Configuring the module properties.
Next step is to select the “Comm Format”, which tells RSLogix5000 the format of the datao. In our
example, we have selected Data-SINT, which will represent the data in the Anybus-S Slave module as a field
of 8-bit values. It is also possible to select Data-INT, which will represent the data as 16-bit values, and
Data-DINT, which will represent it as 32 bit values.
I/O data is accessed in input instance 100 and output instance 150, so these values have to be entered as the
instance values for input and outputp. The size of the input connection and the output connection shall
correspond to the size that we have configured the Anybus-S Slave module for. In our case we are using 32
8-bit values of input and output data, so that is the size that we enterq. 32 in this case stands for 32 instances
of 8 bits. If we had been using Data-INT or Data-DINT, we would have to recalculate the size to match the
data type, so Data-INT would have been 16 16-bit values, and Data-DINT would have been 8 32-bit values.
The Anybus-S Slave module does not have a configuration assembly instance by default, but RSLogix5000
requires a value for this anyway. An instance value of 0 is not a valid instance number, but any non-zero
value will work, here we have selected the value 1r. The data size of the configuration instance has to be set
to 0, otherwise the configuration instance will be accessed and the connection will be refuseds. As a final
step we enter the IP address that we have configured for the module, here 10.10.14.225t.
The next step is to press next.

Figure 9 Configuring the scan interval.
In this dialogue we will enter a value for the time between each scan of the module. In this example, we have
set the interval to 50 ms to reduce the network load. Make sure that “Inhibit Module” isn’t checked. After
this, press finish.
Now the Anybus-S Slave has been added to the I/O configuration in RSLogix 5000. The main screen will
look as follows.

5. Anybus configuration
The Anybus module has to be configured for the same I/O size and IP-settings as in the PLC configuration.
The configuration of the IP-settings and the I/O sizes is described in the two following chapters. In the
subsequent two chapters the configuration of the Anybus Communicator and Anybus X-gateway is explained
in detail.
5.1. IP settings
Make sure each node on the network has a unique IP address. The IP settings of the Anybus EtherNet/IP
modules can be configured in various ways. It is recommended to use the Anybus IPconfig tool for
configuring the IP-settings. The Anybus IPconfig tool can be used to configure the IP settings of all Anybus
EtherNet/IP modules. The program can be downloaded at HMS website1. Start the program and the main
window will be opened.

The settings can be configured manually or the DHCP function can be used. For the Anybus Ethernet
modules DHCP is activated by default. To change the settings manually, double click on the desired module
and enter the desired IP-settings as seen below.
Figure 16 Configuring the IP settings.
As mentioned before there are other ways to configure the IP settings. The IP settings can also be configured
by sending ARP commands or using the web interface in the module, see the Anybus-S Ethernet/IP Fieldbus
Appendix for details. See the notes below for more product specific information.
Note for the Anybus-S Slave, and Communicator:
DIP switches 1-8 set the last part of the IP address, 192.168.0.xxx. The switches will be found next to the
indication LEDs on the Communicator and the Slave Interface. The modules can also be configured by
mailbox commands or by the ethcfg.cfg configuration file.
Note for the X-gateway:
The X-gateway can be configured by the DIP switches as described above or by the ethcfg.cfg configuration
file.
Note for the Anybus PCI card:
The module can be configured by mailbox commands or by the ethcfg.cfg configuration file.
Note for the Anybus-IC:
For the Anybus–IC for EtherNet/IP the configuration is depending on the application. The IP address is set
by the IP configuration parameters or, if mounted, by switches.
Note for the Anybus CompactCom:
The Anybus CompactCom can be configured by the network configuration object.
For further instructions see the respective manual or appendix.

5.2. I/O configuration
The Anybus product has to be configured for the same I/O sizes as set up in the PLC configuration. The
configuration procedure is depending on the type of module. See the notes below.
Note: The I/O sizes are depending on the application, the configured I/O sizes in this chapter are just
examples.
Note for the Anybus-S Slave Interface and the Anybus PCI card:
The Anybus Slave Interface and the Anybus PCI card are configured by the host application interface. Refer
to the Fieldbus Appendix for details.
Note for the Anybus CompactCom and the Anybus-IC:
The Anybus CompactCom and the Anybus-IC are configured by messages sent by the application. Refer to
the Anybus-IC Fieldbus Appendix and the Anybus CompactCom Network Interface Appendix for details.
Note for the Anybus Communicator and the Anybus X-gateway:
The configuration of the Anybus Communicator and the Anybus X-gateway is described in separate sections
below.

5.3. Communicator configuration
To configure the Communicator start the ABC Config Tool and start a new project. Select the fieldbus
EtherNet/IP and the desired I/O data size. In this case Automatic I/O size is used.
Figure 17 Configuring the Fieldbus.
Note: Using the Automatic setting for the IO size, the amount of data configured for the fieldbus is
depending on the sub-network configuration. The fieldbus I/O data will in that case be of the same size as
configured for the sub-network.
The Anybus Communicator is configured for generic data mode; all other values are left at their defaults.

The next step is to configure the sub-network.
Figure 19 Configuring the sub network.
Right click on new node and add a consume and a produce transaction as shown above. Change the Offline
timeout time for the consume transaction to 2000 ms and the update time for the produce transaction to 1000
ms. Right click on the produce and consume transaction respectively and select add data. In this case 32
bytes of data is used.
Note: The update time for the produce transaction is to be set to less than the offline timeout time for the
consume transaction; in this case the update time is set to 1000 ms and the offline timeout time to 2000 ms.

6. Testing
Now it is possible to access the data exchanged by the ControlLogix 5000 and the Anybus-S Slave module.
In this case the Anybus Communicator with a loop dongle at the serial port for test purpose is used. The
following chapters explain the editing of the tags and the monitoring of the tags. By writing and reading data
to the tags the communication between the PLC and the Anybus-S Slave module is tested.
6.1. Monitoring the tag
Firstly go online and switch to “Remote Run” on the PLC. To monitor the tags, open the “Controller Tags”
windownand go to monitor tagso. Three tags named “Anybus:C”, “Anybus:I” and ” Anybus:O” is to be
visible, representing the three instances configuration, input and output. The configuration instance is created
even if we selected its size as zero. The Anybus:I tag is data going from the Anybus-S Slave and Anybus:O
tag holds data going to the Anybus-S Slave.

Figure 23 Monitoring the tags.
First enter 01 02 03 04 in the Output Tag, so there is some “data” to read. This can be done just by entering
values for the Output tagsp. If the network is correctly configured the corresponding Input Tags will obtain
the respective value. The values are depending on the application, in this case the values are just examples.
