Adding a Third Party Device to the Sample Network

Overview

The next task is to extend the sample network by adding the following third party devices:

1734-AENT PointIO adapter with IP address of 192.168.001.011
1734-IB4/C 4pt DC input module
1734-OB2E 2pt DC output module

Network Topology

The modified network topology looks like this:

To re-create this example, be sure to:

use the IP addresses for your own configuration’s:
- PC
- TSX ETC 100 EtherNet/IP communication module
- STB NIC 2212 EtherNet/IP network interface module
- 1734-AENT PointIO adapter
check all wiring

NOTE: Control Expert software running in the PC is used to configure the TSX P57 4634 controller. In this example, the PC is indirectly wired to the CPU’s Ethernet port via the Ethernet switch. Alternatively, you could bypass the switch and directly wire the PC to another one of the CPU’s ports.
