Accessing ControlLogix / CompactLogix via 1761 NET ENI

· Set the .Adapter Property to the INGEAR Driver configured as ControlLogix L55x

· Set the IP Address of the 1761 NET ENI Ethernet Module in the .Host Property of the ActiveX

· Set the CIP Routing Path of the PLC in the .Node Property
(See CIP Routing Path Below)

Understanding Routing Path

When addressing a ControlLogix / CompactLogix node through a 1761 NET ENI the INGEAR PLC ActiveX uses a CIP Routing.

· Always start with "B"

· DF1 Channel Node Number

Example:

ABCTL1.Adapter = 0
ABCTL1.Host = "192.168.1.35"
ABCTL1.Node = "B.1"

Route Path B.1 will access the Node 1 using Channel B of the 1761 NET ENI at IP address 192.168.1.35
