How to configure an Anybus EtherNet/IP Scanner module with RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP
SCM-7032-031
Rev 1.02
1. Solution overview
This application note describes how to configure an Anybus EtherNet/IP Scanner module and how to set up
the EtherNet/IP network using RSNetWorx. Below you can find an overview of the system described in this
document. Other nodes may be attached to the network, but are not necessary.
The configuration is described in two steps.
1. At first the Anybus Scanner module configuration is explained.
2. Secondly the configuration of the EtherNet/IP network is described.
Note: This document is valid for all Anybus EtherNet/IP Scanner products, however sections written in
italics describe the configuration of a specific product.
The contents describe step by step how a configuration is done. This document assumes the reader is familiar
with industrial communication, EtherNet/IP networks and HMS PCI-card and X-gateway.

4. Anybus configuration
The first step is to configure the Anybus Scanner module. The configuration of the IP-settings is described in
the following chapter. In the two following chapters the configuration of the Anybus-M, Anybus PCI-card
and X-gateway are explained.
4.1. 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. In many industrial applications DHCP with a fixed MACID
table is used. For the Anybus Ethernet modules DHCP is activated by default.
In other cases 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.
Figure 2 The Anybus IPconfig tool.
The program scans the network for Anybus Ethernet modules. The settings can be configured manually or
the DHCP function can be used. To change the settings manually, double click on the module of interest and
enter the desired IP-settings.
Using DHCP disables the manual IP-settings
In this case make sure the DIP-switches are
set in zero position.

As mentioned before there are other ways to configure the IP settings. The IP settings can also be configured
by gleaning or using the web interface in the module. See the notes below for additional product specific
information.
Note for the Anybus-M Scanner:
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. 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 also be configured by the DIP switches as described above or by the ethcfg.cfg
configuration file.
Note for the Anybus PCI card:
The PCI-card can also be configured by mailbox commands or by the ethcfg.cfg configuration file.
For further instructions see the respective manual or appendix.
4.2. Anybus-M and Anybus PCI-card configuration
The Anybus-M and the Anybus PCI card are configured via the host application interface using the mailbox
interface. Refer to the Anybus-M Fieldbus Appendix and the Anybus API reference manual for details.

4.3. Anybus X-gateway configuration
Use the HyperTerminal on a PC to configure the X-gateway. Connect a serial cable between the PC and the
config port on the X-gateway. Start the HyperTerminal and open the “File” menu and click on new, choose
the desired COM port and then click on OK. The following window will appear.
Figure 4 Configuring the connection in the HyperTerminal.
Make sure the settings are identical to those shown in the window above. Alternatively download a
HyperTerminal session file from the HMS website2, double click on it and select COM port.
Connect and press ESC and the following menu will appear.

The figure below shows an example; in this case an EtherNet/IP Scanner to EtherNet/IP Adapter X-gateway
is used and 20 bytes of I/O data is configured.

5. EtherNet/IP configuration
To configure the EtherNet/IP network the tools RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP and RSLinx are used. Firstly the
Ethernet Driver needs to be configured in RSLinx and secondly the EtherNet/IP network is configured by
RSNetWorx.
5.1. Configuring the Ethernet driver
Start the RSLinx software from Rockwell. Open the Communications menu and select Configure Drivers.
Figure 7 Opening the Configure Drivers menu.
In the following window select Ethernet/IP Driver and then click on Add Newn.
