Preface • Screen shots in this manual were taken from the following software packages. Your screen can appear slightly different if your version of the software is not the same: • RSLinx software, version 2.51 • RSLogix 5 software, version 7.20 •...
The features of the adapter include the following: • Can be panel-mounted or DIN Rail Mounted with PN-107433 available through your Allen-Bradley distributor. The adapter can be mounted with either two or four screws in any orientation necessary. • Grounding is provided through the housing. Grounding is to be provided by one of the panel mounting holes.
Chapter 1 Getting Started • Compatibility with IntelliCENTER software for parameter configuration of the end device. A Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server can be used to configure the network address for the adapter. • Status indicators that report the status of the end device communication, the adapter, and network.
Getting Started Chapter 1 Safety Precautions Read the following safety precautions carefully. ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is transmitting control I/O to the end device, the end device can fault when you reset the adapter. Determine how your end device responds before resetting an adapter.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Quick Start This section is provided to help experienced users quickly start using the adapter. If you are unsure how to complete a step, refer to the referenced chapter. Step Action Refer to Review the safety precautions for the adapter. Throughout This Manual Verify that the end device is properly installed.
Chapter Install the Adapter This chapter provides instructions for installing the adapter. Topic Page Prepare for an Installation Connect the Adapter to the End Device Connect the Adapter to the Network Apply Power Commission the Adapter Prepare for an Installation Before installing the adapter, refer to these guidelines: •...
Chapter 2 Install the Adapter IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports associated with a particular IP multicast group. Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) learn which ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and forward only the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the multicast group.
Install the Adapter Chapter 2 Connect the Adapter to the Follow these steps to connect the adapter to the network. Network 1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network. See following graphic for an example of wiring to an EtherNet/IP network.
Chapter 2 Install the Adapter After installing the adapter and applying power, refer to Table 8 on page 58 for a description of the status indicators. Commission the Adapter To commission the adapter, you must set a unique IP address on the network. (Refer to the Glossary for details about IP addresses.) After installing the adapter...
Chapter Configure the Adapter This chapter provides instructions and information for setting up the adapter. Topic Page Configuration Tools Using BOOTP Set the Data Rate Set the I/O Configuration Set a Fault Action Reset the Adapter Update the Adapter For a list of E3 Plus or 825-P parameters, refer to the appropriate user manual. For definitions of terms in this chapter, refer to the Glossary.
Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter Configure the Adapter by Using the BOOTP Server Connect your personal computer to the network the 2100-ENET adapter is connected. It can be connected directly to your personal computer, if a network does not exist. ATTENTION: Do not apply power to the 2100-ENET adapter until directed to do 1.

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter 3. Apply power to the 2100-ENET adapter. 4. From the File menu, choose Open. 5. Select your saved configuration data file and click OK. The node configuration appears in the Relation List window. 6. To change the IP address or enable BOOTP, right-click the node and choose Properties.
Configure the Adapter Chapter 3 Set a Fault Action By default, when I/O communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected) or the controller is idle (in Program mode or faulted), the end device responds by faulting, if it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to a communication fault or an idle controller in the end device.
When this occurs, the E3 Plus or 825-P does not reset. Update the Adapter The adapter can be updated over the network. ControlFLASH™ software, a tool provided by Allen-Bradley, is used for updating the adapter. To obtain a update for this adapter, go to http://www.rockwellautomation.com/ rockwellautomation/support.

Chapter 4 Configure the I/O • Each controller has a limited number of communication connections (refer to its user manual for maximum connections), which limits the number of end devices that can be connected. In summary, unlike a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller, programming a PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100 or MicroLogix 1400 controller by using RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 software with explicit messages is more difficult, and produces a more complex program.

Chapter 5 Using the I/O Create Ladder Logic by Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile (all versions) When you add the adapter and E3 Plus module to the I/O configuration (Chapter 4), RSLogix 5000 software automatically creates generic (non-descriptive) controller tags for them. In this example program, the following controller tags are used.
Chapter Using Explicit Messaging This chapter provides information and examples that explain how to use Explicit Messaging to configure and monitor the connected device. Topic Page About Explicit Messaging Performing Explicit Messages ControlLogix Examples ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this publication are intended solely for purposes of example.
Chapter 6 Using Explicit Messaging Performing Explicit There are five basic events in the Explicit Messaging process. The details of each step varies depending on the type of controller being used. Refer to the Messages documentation for your controller. There must be a request message and a response message for all Explicit IMPORTANT Messages, whether you are reading or writing data.

Glossary Nonvolatile Storage (NVS) NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the adapter and E3 Plus module store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not lost when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called EEPROM. Ping A message that is sent by one end device to its peripheral devices.
