Chapter 5 Configure a Supervisor on a Device-level Ring Network

To configure the ring supervisor in RSLogix 5000 programming software,

follow these steps.

1. Add the module to your project.

Right-click 1756 Backplane and choose New Module.

IMPORTANT

The steps to configure a ring supervisor via software are

basically the same for the 1756-EN2TR module and the

1783-ETAP, 1783-ETAP1F, and 1783-ETAP2F taps. This example

shows how to configure the 1756-EN2TR module.

You need to configure only the 1783-ETAP, 1783-ETAP1F, and

1783-ETAP2F taps in your I/O Configuration if you plan to

enable the tap as a ring supervisor. If you do not plan to use the

tap as a ring supervisor, we recommend that you do not add it

to your I/O Configuration.

Additionally, if you want to configure a 1783-ETAP,

1783-E

TAP1F, or 1783-ETAP2F tap as a supervisor via software

or with its DIP switchs, you must first assign it an IP address.

The tap does not require an IP address if it is used as a ring

node or has its supervisor function enabled by DIP switch

For more information on how to use a tap’s switch to configure

it a
