4 About the Adapter
Cycle Power To a System for the First Time
When you cycle power to the POINT I/O for the first time, the adapter must
assign addresses to every module in the backplane. POINT I/O modules all
ship configured at the same address.
When you first apply power, we expect that all but one module on the
backplane exhibits a solid red Module Status LED.
One by one the adapter resets these modules and addresses them
appropriately. The amount of time that this operation takes is proportional to
the size of your POINT I/O system.
Adapter Features
The 1734-AENT adapter has the following features:
• EtherNet/IP messages encapsulated within standard TCP/UDP/IP
protocol
• Common application layer with ControlNet and DeviceNet networks
• Interfacing via Category 5 rated twisted pair cable
• Half/full duplex 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit operation
• DIN rail mounting
• Communication to and from other POINT I/O modules on the same
DIN rail
• Communication supported by RSLinx software
• IP address assigned via standard BootP or DHCP tools
• I/O configuration via RSLogix 5000 software
• No network scheduling required
• No routing tables required
• Support of connections from multiple controllers simultaneously
