Q1：How to connect to the Allen-Bradley PLC？
A1：It is tested and confirmed that the EIP-2000 can be connected to the Allen-BradleyTM ControlLogix
Logix 5563 through the 1756-ENBT ControlLogix EtherNet/IP Module successfully. The configuration
software is RSLogix 5000. Please follow the steps below:
1.
Open RSLogix 5000 and create a new project.
Figure1-1. Create a new project.
2.
Select the PLC type and give the project a name.
Figure1-2. Set the PLC type and project name.

4
3.
Create a new module in the “Ethernet” item.
Figure 1-3. Create a new module.
4.
Select the “ETHERNET-MODULE” below “Communications” in the Select Module window.

5
Figure1-4. Select “ETHERNET-MODULE”.
5.
Configure the new module parameters. The I/O length of new module must be the same with the
length of EIP-2000 I/O data. The data assembly please refer to Table 1-1 and the instance ID
please refer to Table 1-2.

Q2：How to use EDS file of EIP-2000 series？
A2：EDS file is a convenient way to make the connection between EtherNet/IP Scanner and Adapter.
All the EIP-2000 series EDS file can be download on our website:
http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/can_bus/EtherNet_IP_series.htm
We provide the connection steps of Hilscher CIFX 50-RE with EIP-2055 EDS file. The configuration
software is SYNCON.net. Please refer to the steps below：
1.
Open SYNCON.net and create a new project.
