(or skips this step) and then writes to the tag that the item(s) was added. The carton moves to the next filling station. This is a common use of RFID technology. What makes the Bulletin 56RF product line unique is its conformance to the open international standards: ISO15693 and ISO18000-3 M1.
Page 10: Backward Compatibility
Backward Compatibility The Bulletin 56RF RFID system will be offered initially on EtherNet/IP and is backward compatible with the previous offering of Bul. 56RF ICODE products. The transceivers and interface blocks are a matched pair so they cannot be interchanged.
Page 11: System Setup
The transceivers are connected to a special RFID EIP interface block. The distribution block has an EtherNet connection to an EtherNet switch. An L35E CompactLogix controller and a personal computer also have EtherNet connections to the EtherNet switch. Rockwell Automation Publication 56RF-UM001A-EN-P - October 2011...

Page 38: Setting The Network Address
EtherNet/IP Addressing Setting the Network Address Before using the Bul. 56RF interface block in an EtherNet/IP network, configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing them.
Page 39: Advanced Ip Addresses
2. Set the address switches to 999 and cycle the power. On the Bul. 56RF interface block, set the address switch settings to 999. Cycle the power and wait until the MOD indicator is solid green. The MOD indicator blinks red once, green once, solid red for a short while and finally turns solid green.
Page 40 The device is added to the Relation List, displaying the EtherNet Address (MAC) and corresponding IP Address, Hostname, and Description. When the address is assigned to the Bul. 56RF interface block, 1) the Status message is updated, and 2) the IP address appears in the Request History window.
Page 41 6. Disable DHCP. Click on (only once) the interface block in the Relation List to highlight it. Then click Disable BOOTP/DHCP. This instructs the Bul. 56RF interface block to retain the IP Address at the next power cycle. Wait for the Status message to show that the command was successfully sent. If not, repeat this step.
Page 42: Change Ip Address From One Advanced Address To Another Advanced
EtherNet/IP Addressing Click File > Save As to save the relationship, if desired. Cycle the power to the Bul. 56RF interface block. You should no longer see the Bul. 56RF interface block appear in the Request History panel. From a DOS prompt, you can ping the new address. The response should be 4 packets sent, 4 packets received and 0 lost.
Page 43 RSLinx places an X over the RFID adaptor because it can no longer communicate with it. Use the same steps to change the IP address of the other devices on the network. Change the Network adaptor address to 192.168.3.1. Rockwell Automation Publication 56RF-UM001A-EN-P - October 2011...
Page 44: Address
Close and re-open the RSWho window. The older addresses are not available and the new addresses (192.168.3.115 and 192.168.3.214) appear. Note: If DHCP is not disabled, the Bul. 56RF interface block will show two requests in the DHCP Server at each power up.
