TJ, it has been a while. The only other comment I would make, is that you would want to use a 1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TR, or 1756-EN4TR (supports DLR, PRP, CIP Security, Redundant Adapters, Redundant Adapters with PRP), as the 1756-ENBT is now obsolete. ------------------------------ Ahmik Hindman Sr. ...

RE: Can I plug the POINT I/O 4Channel IO-Link Master Module to the Controllogix backplane?

Use IAB to lay this out. Here I selected a Point I/O system, and moved the 1734--4IOL onto the base, then right clicked on the module to add the subsystem. This brings up this window where you can drag the appropriate device into the desired input: To select the size of the chassis and the power ...

The 1756-ENBT's aren't available anymore and you would want to use a 1756-EN2T or 1756-EN4TR module. Also note the 1756-CNB is in the end of life status. Here is what this looks like in IAB: ------------------------------ Ahmik Hindman Sr. Networks & Security Solution Consultant B.S. EE, ...

@Liron, you can control a Point I/O module from a Logix processor over an EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet or Profibus (some adapters are no longer available), but these modules are chassis-less. You would need a 1734-AENTR for example as the EtherNet/IP adapter for the Point I/O module, this would ...

@Liron, you didn't list any modules in your question. However, I'll answer for you, use Rockwell's no charge Integrated Architecture Builder software to drag the desired modules in the chassis and you'll be notified if there are any issues. https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/support/product/pr ...

You can use your existing ControlLogix EtherNet/IP module (would recommend 1756-EN2T or newer) or EtherNet/IP connection directly to the processor if you have a 5580 series processor. If you are looking for a new ControlLogix communication module, I would consider looking at the 1756-EN4TR module, as ...

Boris, Yes unfortunately, not all Prosoft modules are available in IAB. Here are the current in Chassis CLX versions: I would reach out to your Prosoft representative and ask them to add this to IAB, they maintain a list of items to add and work with our team on the addition of those. When I'm ...

RE: 5380/5069 L340ER TCP connections?

I would use IAB to simulate your loading. Here is a quick example I did with the 5069-L340ER controller (with no I/O configured) with 20 PV+7's, each with 5 CIP connections, 100 standard tags, 100 string tags at a scan rate of 500 ms (you'll want to adjust this for your application and match the CIP ...

EDIT: removed unwanted link's preview -FL In addition to Fuzzy's comments, I would design this system within Rockwell Automation's Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB), this will take care of the node count (new processors use this as an easy way to size processors), TCP/UDP, and CIP limitations. ...

I would use OPC/UA to your custom app. There are a bunch of OPC-UA servers available including some open source of course Rockwell's FTLinx OPC Gateway out preforms other solutions. The other option is a custom EtherNet/IP driver (many stacks available, including some open source for Linux). Finally ...

RE: Multiple VLAN in a single REP segment

Kelvin, we have always been able to support multiple VLAN's on in a REP ring. Recently we added this capability within a DLR switched ring (see DLR application guide for rules) Here is a good CPwE guide that talks about this. " Single ring with single media is the simplest choice in terms of implementation. ...
