Before you begin: Ensure that the EDS file (Found on the "Ethernet IP Configuration Tools" CD that was
shipped with the Catalyst) is copied to the RSLogix 5000 EDS directory (as indicated by Rockwell Automation
Manual). The EDS file insures that the RSLogix controller can identify the RACO Ethernet autodialers in the
Ethernet modules and tags.
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.
