Chapter 2 Create a Project for Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
Add an Ethernet
Communication Module
Although ControlLogix 5580 and GuardLogix 5580 controllers can use
Ethernet communication modules, only ControlLogix 5560 and 5570 and
GuardLogix 5560 and 5570 controllers require an Ethernet communication
module for connection to the Ethernet network. See Controller,
Communication, Drive, and Software Options on page 11 for more
information.
Follow these instructions to add an Ethernet communication module to your
project if needed.
1. To add a module, right-click the backplane and choose New Module.
2. Clear the Module Type Category Filters select all checkbox.
3. Check the Communication checkbox.
On the Select Module Type dialog box, you can filter to the exact type of
module you are looking for, which makes your search faster.
4. Under Communications, select the Ethernet module and click Create.
IMPORTANT For all communication modules, use the firmware revision that goes with
the firmware revision of your controller. See the release notes for the
firmware of your controller.
