Communication extension card
5. Perform ring network configuration.
The following describes how to implement a ring network between the PLC and
EtherNet/IP communication card. After device installation in the ring network, at least
one monitoring node must be configured. You can perform configuration on Studio
5000.
Note: The EtherNet/IP communication card does not support the ring network
monitoring function.
You need to use the PLC with the ring networking capability and at least two
EtherNet/IP communication cards (the suggested number is 32 at most in a DLR ring
network). For details about the connection method, see Figure 5-4 Electrical wiring
diagram for a ring network.
Note: The PLC communicates with upper monitoring software by using the USB cable.
The configuration on the RSLinx and Studio software is similar to that described in the
preceding steps.
Assume that projects have been created, as shown in the following figure.
Download projects to the PLC. Enable the PLC online and start the programming mode
for it.
In I/O Configuration, double-click the module. In the Controller Properties window,
click the Network tab, choose Enable Supervisor Mode, and then click OK.
