Page 11: Ethernet Cabling
AN-X3-AMX-RIO Page The cable must be RG-59/U. Ethernet Cabling AN-X has a standard RJ-45 connector for connecting to Ethernet. If you are connecting AN-X to an existing network through a router or switch, use a standard Ethernet cable. If you are connecting directly between an Ethernet Device and AN-X, use a crossover cable. -
Page 12: Initial Ethernet Configuration
Page AN-X3-AMX-RIO Initial Ethernet Configuration AN-X can be configured: to use a static (unchanging) IP address to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server to use the fixed link-local address 169.254.42.84 AN-X modules are shipped with the link-local address 169.254.42.84. -
Page 13: Dhcp
AN-X3-AMX-RIO Page Select Administration/AN-X IP/FW Configuration. The AN-X3 IP/FW Configuration page appears. At the top the screen the serial number and MAC address of the AN-X being configured are shown. Check either DHCP or Static. DHCP If the AN-X3 finds a DHCP server on the network, it obtains an IP address and other network parameters (netmask and default gateway) from the DHCP server. -
Page 14: Static Ip Address
Page AN-X3-AMX-RIO When you submit the changes, if the AN-X3 does not find a DHCP server, it reverts to the default link local address 169.254.42.84 and repeatedly flashes the SYS LED 3 times red followed by a pause. Static IP Address If you select static IP address, enter: •... -

Page 23: Scheduled Data With A Controllogix
Each scheduled connection with a ControlLogix contains up to 250 words of input data and up to 248 words of output data. The AN-X3-AMX-RIO module behaves like a 17-slot ControlLogix rack with an ENBT/A module in slot 16 and generic modules in slots 0 and 15. - Page 24 Page AN-X3-AMX-RIO Enter the Name. Use the host name you assigned to AN-X when you configured its IP properties. (see page 10) Set the Revision to 1. Set Electronic Keying to Disable Keying. Set the Rack Connection to None. Set the Time Sync Connection to None.

Page 25: Ethernet/Ip Log
You can view the log using the AN-X3 web interface. Select Log Files/Ethernet/IP Log to view the log. ControlLogix Tags When AN-X3-AMX-RIO is configured, it creates a csv file that can be imported into RSLogix 5000. This csv file creates tag aliases for access to RIO data in the ControlLogix. - Page 26 Page AN-X3-AMX-RIO ‘ClxExp’ in the configuration file, which defaults to the hostname of the AN-X module. To retrieve the alias csv file, select Automation Network/ Configuration View then Logix Aliases. To import the tags into RSLogix 5000, you must be offline. Select Tools/Iport Tags and import the tag file.
