Notes on System Architecture
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver provides
communication between the APOGEE
®
Automation
System and Allen-Bradley systems on an EtherNet/IP
network.
Functionality
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver can be loaded
into MBC Open Processor and MEC hardware. The
driver is a microprocessor-based, multitasking
platform designed for multi-system communication
and control. The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver
communicates with Insight software, other APOGEE
field panels and controllers, and the Allen-Bradley
system.
Through the Insight workstation, the Allen-Bradley
points can be monitored and commanded. The Allen-
Bradley points integrated into the APOGEE
Automation System can be accessed by system
applications such as Powers Process Control
Language (PPCL), scheduling, trending, and
alarming.
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver will not affect, in
any way, the operating sequence or safeties as
factory programmed into the Allen-Bradley system.
Keys to Success
Ensure that all Allen-Bradley equipment to be
integrated is supported by the Allen-Bradley
EtherNet/IP Driver.
Benefits
Systems integration brings the powerful facility control
capabilities of the APOGEE Automation System
together with Allen-Bradley systems on an
EtherNet/IP network. Integrating the Allen-Bradley
points allows both systems to operate as a single
system providing marked advantages in the following:
 Reduced operating and training costs.
 Increased employee productivity.
 Increased diagnostic capabilities to extend
equipment life.
 Improved systems information and control.
 Maximized energy savings.
Products Supported
Allen-Bradley devices supported by the Allen-Bradley
EtherNet/IP Driver include:
 ControlLogix
 CompactLogix
 MicroLogix
 SLC 5/03
 SLC 5/04
 SLC 5/05
