Overview
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet device driver provides data exchange between clients and Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controllers via Ethernet.
The ControlLogix Ethernet Device Driver supports communications with the ControlLogix 5500 Series, CompactLogix 5300 Series, and FlexLogix 5400 Series that support 1761-NET-ENI Series B. The driver also enables connectivity with the 1761-NET-ENI, Micrologix Series, SLC 500 Fixed I/O Processor, SLC 500 Modular I/O Series, and PLC-5 Series. Please see the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Manual for more information.
This driver does not require a Rockwell Automation RSLinx license.
Performance
- Enhanced performance and reduced device loads via optimized data access calls
- Supports Automatic Tag Database Generation through online Allen-Bradley Logix or file-based .L5K and .L5X
- Supports larger packet sizes for ControlLogix Controllers v20 and higher (configurable up to 4000 bytes) for improved performance.
- Serial Gateway support with unconnected messaging, which provides access to ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, and SoftLogix devices via the ControlLogix serial port
- EtherNet/IP Gateway support, which provides access to EtherNet/IP-enabled MicroLogix, SLC, and PLC 5 devices via the ControlLogix Ethernet Communications module
- Supports ControlLogix Gateway access via Data Highway Plus and ControlNet networks
- Supports device routing, which allows access to ControlLogix, PLC 5, and SLC 500 PLCs via any connecting network topology
- Supports access to all pre-defined Structure Data Types (such as CAM, AXIS, and so forth)
- Connected Messaging for Read/Write transactions
- Note: This driver is part of our Allen-Bradley Suite. Purchasing either the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet, Allen-Bradley DF1, Allen-Bradley DH+, Allen-Bradley Unsolicited, or Allen-Bradley PLC5/SLC505 Ethernet Driver entitles you to all of the drivers
