Adding Ethernet Modules in Studio 5000

One of the great advantages of Allen Bradley's Controllogix and Compactlogix PLCs is their ability to read inputs and control outputs just is the I/O were directly connected to the PLC. In this lesson we show you how to add your remote Ethernet I/O to the Studio 5000 I/O configuration.

You are welcome Randy.

[@rixpanapasa8977]

really intresting tim and thanks

[@TimWilborne]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lanthonyperdum6430]

Thanks a million...It would be great if you could do a video on how the green light is true in the logic even when there is no ENBT communication...

I wonder if you could do this while having with a chassis that has both Honeywell C200 CPM & IOM in it as well as Ab Enet and IOMs.... Not saying its a good idea but now I am curious.

[@nicholasjohnson4227]

Could this exact scenario be done with the Studio 5000 Lite edition? Like can you control the I/O modules on the. ControlLogix chassis even thought 5000 Lite can’t program ControlLogix PLC’s?

[@TimWilborne]

You can add Ethernet modules with Studio 5000 Lite also.

Ficou top como uma cpu que e demais posso controlar vários rack com Ethernet ,a longas distância, a controlnet ficou obsoleto?

[@nithishkumars3113]

Sir kindly give me a suggestion for seimens S7-1500 plc and allen bradley power flex 525 driver is can make communication delay or any disadvantages compare to g120.

[@hahaview]

It is a great video. not sure if you need 1756 cpu in his chassis when you did this test?

[@TimWilborne]

No, you don't.

[@hahaview]

@@TimWilborne Thank you so much

Hi Tim, I had a question.
What is the maximum number of digital I/O that can be interfaced to one ControlLogix processor? also
What is the maximum number of analog I/O that can be interfaced to one ControlLogix processor?

[@TimWilborne]

Hi Rollin, this link will help.

[@Time-Trvlr]

Question: Can the ControLogic Processor be removed and with the power supply still in place use the Backplane as a RIO?

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, a Controllogix chassis doesn't need a processor. Lots of times we use them as networking bridges, most popularly Ethernet to DH+

[@Time-Trvlr]

@@TimWilborne Thank you Tim… (@_@)

[@johnrece6622]

Any tips I could get on changing a 1756-l62 to a 1756-l72?

[@TimWilborne]

Right click the controller at the top of the left pane and select properties, then on the general tab, select Change Controller.

[@hectorvaldez8471]

You're doing such a great job with the PLC tutorial Tim. Question to the expert: One of the I/O Ethernet seemed to got corrupted. The whole ADC project was working fine but all of a sudden, I think, one of the Ethernet modules shows like " Box_Opener". If I try to delete it I get an error pop up saying: "Failed to delete module 'Box_Opener'. Invalid consume producer. Module is not a valid producer." Could you help me tackling this problem? I'm using Studio 5000 on a Windows 10. I appreciate your help.

[@hectorvaldez8471]

Forgot to mentioned that the "unknown" device is another PLC that I'm able to confirm is up and running in the same local network.

[@TimWilborne]

Haven't run into that Hector but Rockwell knowledgebase ID QA28431 seems to be what you are looking for.

[@hectorvaldez8471]

Tim, I called Rockwell and they helped me out. I would like to share the solution with your audience, my 2 cents, they suggested to update Logix Designer from 30.00.00 to 30.02.02 which has many patches and updates, and IT WORKED!!!! Thanks.

[@TimWilborne]

@@hectorvaldez8471 Very good to know, thanks for sharing!

[@elizeusimoes490]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🤝

[@hahaview]

Did you connect 1756, 1769 and your computer to the switch?

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, it must all be on the same network.

[@hahaview]

@@TimWilborne Thank you so much. Would you mind posting the switch P/N and manufacturer name?

[@TimWilborne]

Any basic Ethernet switch will do

[@hahaview]

@@TimWilborne Thank you so much

[@TimWilborne]

You are welcome.

[@brentlackey8316]

You opened a new project not a new program!

[@TimWilborne]

Oh that is life-changing. I don't know what I would do without smart people like you to tell me everything I do wrong 😂
