Overview
Overview
The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Driver provides an easy and reliable way to connect Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet controllers to OPC client applications, including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and countless custom applications.
Supported Allen-Bradley Controllers
ControlLogix® 5500 Series
Communications with ControlLogix can be accomplished through an EtherNet/IP communication module for Ethernet communications or through a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-serial communications using the controller's serial port.
CompactLogix™ 5300 and 5400 Series
Ethernet communications with CompactLogix requires a processor with a built-in EtherNet/IP port such as the 1769-L35E. Communications with CompactLogix otherwise requires a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-serial communications using the controller's serial port.
FlexLogix 5400 Series
Communications with FlexLogix can be accomplished through a 1788-ENBT daughter card for Ethernet communications or through a 1761-NET-ENI module for Ethernet-to-serial communications using the controller's serial port.
SoftLogix 5800
The driver supports the Allen-Bradley SoftLogix 5800 Series Controller and requires an Ethernet card in the SoftLogix PC.
Data Highway Plus Gateway
The driver supports the PLC-5 Series and SLC 500 Series with a Data Highway Plus interface. This is accomplished through a DH+ gateway and requires one of the aforementioned PLCs, an EtherNet/IP communication module, and a 1756-DHRIO-interface module (both residing in the ControlLogix rack).
ControlNet Gateway
The driver supports the PLC-5C Series. This is accomplished through a ControlNet gateway and requires the aforementioned PLC, an EtherNet/IP communication module, and a 1756-CNB/CNBR interface module (both residing in the ControlLogix rack).
1761-NET-ENI
The driver supports communications with the 1761-NET-ENI device. The ENI device adds extra flexibility in device networking and communications by providing an Ethernet-to-serial interface for both Full Duplex DF1 controllers and Logix controllers. In conjunction with the ENI device, this driver supports the following:
• ControlLogix 5500 Series*
• CompactLogix 5300 Series*
• FlexLogix 5400 Series*
• MicroLogix Series
• SLC 500 Fixed I/O Processor
• SLC 500 Modular I/O Series
• PLC-5 Series
*These models require 1761-NET-ENI Series B or higher.
MicroLogix 1100
The driver supports communications with the MicroLogix 1100 (CH1 Ethernet) using EtherNet/IP.
