Programmable Logic Controllers are placed at the heart of the manufacturing process. If they're the heart, the veins which link them to other field components are the network. Deploying a control systems network can be challenging & without proper tracking and implementation may lead to complications.
A young organization may choose to track their network infrastructure through a simple Excel spreadsheet. This method is prone to errors on larger scales, but it very easy to manage and visualize for small networks. I manage a private home network of over 20 devices through Excel.
The technical component of visualizing an Allen Bradley PLC, HMI, VFD, etc. network is RSLinx. This software package provides an interface that can be used to scan an entire subnet & map the devices to their appropriate IPs. Furthermore, RSLinx is the software Allen Bradley devices utilize to connect to the user computer.
We will be exploring the basics of networking as well as the RSLinx Classic driver setup within this article.

Vladimar..you are the MAN, Great Lesson. I learn a lot from your videos ..Homie

[@bhaumikpatel5336]

Wow Vlad. I had so many doubts about this network connection. I had requested you to make a video on network protocol on Linked in. And finally it is here. Thank you so much for this.

[@lennonreis6697]

Congratulations for the video! I work in a Rockwell distributor in Brazil as tecnical consultant, your videos are helping a lot the customers that never had experienced Rockwell Devices. Keep doing the good work!!

[@SolisPLC]

Thank you Lennon, I really appreciate the support! If you can put me in touch with anyone local (US or Canada) who can help me with the direction of some of the videos & demo kits, that would be awesome!

Hey Vlad, thank you So much for these great videos, I have a problem with my network the controller losses the connection and trips the unit the message is "CIP connection (4)timed out on route ControlLogic in slot 0 of the chassis at 192.168.1.1" please any idea? this comes from time to time.Thank you so much waiting for your response.

Hi Vlad, can you make a video on how to store program to EEPROM (I believe that is the SD card) and downloading program from EEPROM to controller (CompactLogix or ControlLogix) - thanks!

[@SolisPLC]

That's a great idea; I've added that to my list of videos to create!

Hi, Vlad, your 1756-ENET ENBT EN2TR EtherNet IP Setup , you use the printer cable or just buy the cable from the Rockwell? and usb cable also from the Rockwell?

[@SolisPLC]

It's just an off-brand USB cable. I rarely buy Rockwell cables as there are always alternatives that are much cheaper.

[@joec2308]

thank you, and where do you gonna buy those stuff from normally?

[@chappagiridhar5109]

I have installed in my PC and I have no physical processor then how to assign the Ethernet for communication

[@froycardenas]

there is not such a IP .256 my friend... or I am missing something here? 🤔🤔

[@andrewshonk6442]

Is that a Siemens 505 behind you???

[@SolisPLC]

Yup!
