Configuring Your System for
a EtherNet/IP Link
For the DriveLogix controller to operate on an Ethernet network, you need:

communication daughtercard
• a 1788-ENBT communication daughtercard installed in the DriveLogix
communication slot
• RSLinx software to configure the EtherNet/IP communication driver
• RSLogix 5000 programming software (Version 11 or later) to configure
the 1788-ENBT communication daughtercard as part of the DriveLogix
system
