Product Overview
This chapter gives an overview of the Ethernet Network Interface. The
following topics are covered:
• EtherNet/IP Connectivity
• Hardware Features
• Operating Modes
• Device Compatibility
• Enhancements by Series
• Ethernet Networks
• Web-Server Functionality
EtherNet/IP Connectivity
The 1761-NET-ENI and 1761-NET-ENIW provide EtherNet/IP
connectivity for all MicroLogix controllers, CompactLogix controllers,
and other DF1 full-duplex devices. The Ethernet Network Interface,
ENI or ENIW, allows you to easily connect non-Ethernet controllers
onto new or existing Ethernet networks and upload/download
programs, communicate between controllers, and generate email
messages via SMTP (simple mail transport protocol).
EtherNet/IP is an industry standard open protocol which provides
inter-device compatibility. You can exchange information with other
Allen-Bradley Ethernet controllers (SLC, PLC, and ControlLogix) in a
peer-to-peer relationship, so you do not need any master-type device.
The ENI and ENIW also support an SMTP mail service that allows an
existing controller to send email messages to any destination
connected to the network. The email can be used to initiate the
transmission of data or status information.

After out-of-box power-up, the most common reason for a flashing
red fault LED is because an IP address has not yet been assigned via
BOOTP. Either set up a BOOTP server to assign an IP address or
modify the ENI/ENIW configuration to use a specific IP address or to
obtain an IP address via a DHCP server.

2-6 Installation and Wiring
When to use straight-through and cross-over cables:
• ENI/ENIW Ethernet port to 10/100-Base-T Ethernet switch cables
utilize a straight-through pin-out (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 6-6).
• Direct point-to-point 10/100-Base-T cables connecting the
ENI/ENIW Ethernet port directly to another ENI/ENIW Ethernet
port (or a computer 10/100-Base-T port) require a cross-over
pin-out (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2).
Ethernet Cables
Shielded and non-shielded twisted-pair 10/100-Base-T cables with
RJ45 connectors are supported. The maximum cable length between
an ENI/ENIW Ethernet port and a 10/100-Base-T port on an Ethernet
switch (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 meters (323 feet). However,
in an industrial application, the cable length should be kept to a
minimum.
With media converters or Ethernet switches, you can also connect to
the following media:
• fiber optic
• broadband
• thick-wire coaxial cable (10-Base-5)
• thin-wire coaxial cable (10-Base-2)
Maintain ENI and ENIW Cable Connections
The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable on a switch should be
labeled and treated as dedicated. Be careful when moving any cables,
as port identity may be effected. If you are using a switch and must
move the ENI/ENIW to a new port for any reason, power-cycle the
interface. The power cycle forces a new Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) sequence which should immediately associate the ENI/ENIW’s
IP address with the port it is connected to.
To help prevent problems with network communications affected by
moving cables, discourage any field personnel from treating the ports
of a switch as “all the same”.

Operation Overview
Allocation of Ethernet
Connections
Ethernet is the protocol used to transport TCP/IP messages. On top of
TCP, EtherNet/IP is the open protocol used by the ENI and ENIW.
EtherNet/IP allows devices to exchange information (data); or to
upload, download, and edit logic programs over Ethernet.
To communicate between devices, EtherNet/IP uses a “connection”
model. Connections are dedicated paths across Ethernet between
devices.
The ENI and ENIW support a maximum of 6 connections, allowing
simultaneous communication with up to 6 other devices or
applications. The connections are dedicated as follows:
Number of ConnectionsDedicated to:
2outgoing messages
2incoming messages
2either incoming or outgoing messages
TIP
1Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
For peer connections, no more than one connection
per destination node is established. If multiple MSG
instructions use the same destination node, they use
the same connection.

The ENI and ENIW provide EtherNet/IP connectivity for RS-232
devices that use DF1 full-duplex protocol. DF1 full-duplex is an open,
point-to-point protocol used in any Allen-Bradley controller with an
RS-232 port, and in many other devices. DF1 full-duplex supports up
to 255 node addresses. The ENI and ENIW use these node addresses
for different functions.
The ENI and ENIW use a memory (node) map to provide access to
the different functions you can perform. Each function uses a different
group of node addresses. The following table illustrates the ENI and
ENIW functions by groups of node numbers:

depending on parameter
Each Ethernet device requires a unique IP address. If your Ethernet
network is isolated from the company-wide network, any valid IP
address may be used. If your Ethernet hub is connected to a larger
Ethernet network, contact your System Administrator for unique IP
addresses.
For this example, the following IP addresses will be assigned to the
various Ethernet devices on our network:

IMPORTANT
The RS-232/DF1 interface between the
CompactLogix controller and its ENI/ENIW module,
and between the computer (RSLogix5000/RSLinx)
and its ENI/ENIW module, should use 38400 baud.
This will allow the fastest upload/download of
programs.
(For series A and B ENI or series B ENIW only)
When using 38400 baud, the number of Stop Bits in
RSLinx and in the CompactLogix controller must be
set to 2.

3-4 Operation
The ENI/ENIW allows you to connect from your PC to controllers over
Ethernet. The following procedure can be used when the computer
has a connection directly onto Ethernet (PCI card, PCMCIA interface,
built in TCP/IP port, etc.) and also when the ENI/ENIW is plugged
into the computer’s RS-232 (COMM) port.
PC Connected Directly to Ethernet (RSLinx on Ethernet)
IMPORTANT
You must use RSLinx version 2.31.00 or newer to
browse with the ENI/ENIW series B or higher via
Ethernet to a CompactLogix controller.
Follow these steps to configure RSLinx for Ethernet operation.
1. Open RSLinx and open the driver configuration dialog.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
Operation 3-5
2. Select “Ethernet devices” from the available drivers, and then
click “OK” to load the driver into RSLinx.
TIP
The RSLinx Ethernet/IP driver may also be
used with series B (FRN 2.31) ENIs and higher.
The advantage of this driver is that it can
‘discover’ the ENIs on a network even when
the IP addresses have not been manually
entered. The disadvantage of this driver is that
the RSWho browse displays only the ENI and
not the MicroLogix controller that is attached to
the ENI’s serial port.
Once the Ethernet driver is loaded, either highlight and select
“Configure” or simply double click on the Ethernet driver.
3. Click “OK” to accept the default driver name.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
3-6 Operation
At that point, the station mapping screen will appear as
illustrated here. Double click on the row below “Host Name”,
and enter the TCP/IP addresses that match the devices on your
network.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
When you are done entering the stations, click OK to close the
station mapping window.
Operation 3-7
4. Open the AB_ETH-1 tree on your computer. Autobrowse should
be running and any active device that you have configured
should be shown on the screen as illustrated below.
TIP
IMPORTANT
If the ENI or ENIW shows up as an “Unrecognized
Device”, you may need to install the latest ENI or
ENIW (series B or series C/D) EDS file. You can
download this file from
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds/.
You may NOT go online through the AB_ETH-1
Ethernet driver using RSLogix 5000 to the
CompactLogix controller at IP address 131.200.50.94,
because it is connected to Ethernet using a series A
ENI. You MAY go online through the AB_ETH-1
Ethernet driver using RSLogix 5000 to the
CompactLogix controller that shows up under the
ENI at IP address 131.200.50.97, because it is
connected to Ethernet using a series B/C/D ENI.

When using the ENI/ENIW as the computer’s interface, you can only
perform functions supported by RSLogix/RSLinx and ENI/ENIW
configuration operations (using the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility).
In addition, before you can use the ENI/ENIW to connect across
Ethernet to destination devices in this fashion, the ENI/ENIW must
have a valid TCP/IP address, and you must configure the ENI/ENIW’s
message routing table (nodes 100 to 149). Once the ENI/ENIW is
properly configured, you can configure RSLinx.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
RSLinx Configuration
1. Open RSLinx.
2. Open the configure drivers dialog box.
3. Select RS-232 DF1 devices. Click Add New.
4. Configure AB_DF1-1 driver to match the example below.
Operation 3-9
5. Click OK when the AB_DF1-1 driver is configured.
TIP
The 1770-KF3/1747-KE device type only allows you
to address nodes 0 to 31 (decimal). In order to
address nodes 32 to 49, you must select the
1770-KF2/1785-KE device type and convert the octal
addresses to decimal (40
= 3210 . . . 618 = 4910).

Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
3-10 Operation
6. If you have set up the ENI/ENIW Message Routing table with IP
addresses in entries between 1 and 31, those devices should
respond when you browse the AB_DF1 driver.
TIP
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
If you use the AB_DF1 driver through an
ENI/ENIW, you may go online with
CompactLogix controllers using RSLogix 5000
whether they are connected to Ethernet through
series A or series B/C/D ENI/ENIW modules.
Although you may be able to successfully
browse a 1756-Lxx controller located in slot 0
through a 1756-ENxT module using the
AB_DF1 driver with an ENI/ENIW, you will not
be able to go online with that 1756-Lxx
controller using RSLogix 5000 programming
software. If you attempt to do so, the following
error occurs: ‘Failed to go online with the
controller. No open connection.’
You can browse a maximum of four devices at
one time from the DF1 driver, because the
ENI/ENIW supports only four outgoing
connections.

ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
This chapter describes configuration methods and parameters. It is
arranged as follows:
• Configuration Methods
• ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility
• Controller Messaging
• ENI/ENIW Configuration Parameters
• Configuring ENI/ENIW Data Parameters
• Configuring ENI/ENIW String Parameters
4
Configuration Methods
ENI/ENIW Configuration
Utility
The ENI/ENIW’s IP information can be entered using either:
• the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility via the RS-232 port
• the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility via Ethernet, using Com Port
Redirector software (for series D only)
• a write message from the Allen-Bradley controller to node
address 250 via the RS-232 port
• a BOOTP server over Ethernet (BOOTP configuration is
described in Appendix B of this manual)
• a DHCP server over Ethernet (once configured for DHCP)
The ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility is free software designed for
configuring the ENI/ENIW. It is available for download from the
Downloads page of any MicroLogix controller at
www.ab.com/micrologix.
The Com Port Redirector software, which allows ENI/ENIW
configuration over Ethernet, is also available for download from
www.ab.com/micrologix.
This section provides information on how to:
• Make configuration selections using the Configuration Utility.
• Use the Configuration Utility over RS-232.
• Use the Configuration Utility over Ethernet with the Com Port
Redirector software.
1Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
4-2 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
Make Configuration Settings
COM Port Settings
Use the Utility Settings tab to set the following:
• COM Port – The PC’s RS-232 port that the communications cable
is plugged into, or the COM port that the Com Port Redirector is
configured for.
• Baud Rate – Set the baud rate to match the baud rate configured
for the ENI/ENIW. If you’re not sure which baud rate the
ENI/ENIW is configured for, try the available baud rates listed in
Table 4.2, starting with 38,400 and then 19,200. These are the
most commonly used baud rates.
• Parameter Upload Behavior and Parameter Download
Behavior – This setting controls which parameters will be saved
or loaded when you use the Load From or Save To buttons.
• Configuration Security Mask – The Configuration Security Mask
can limit which computers are allowed to configure the ENI or
ENIW over Ethernet, based on their IP Address. A Configuration
Security Mask of 000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255 allows any
computer to configure the ENI or ENIW over Ethernet.
Otherwise, the Configuration Security Mask acts as a filter on a
source IP address such that any mask octet set to the value of
255 becomes ‘don’t care’. Octets in the source IP and all other
fields must match exactly.
The following examples illustrate how the Configuration
Security Mask behaves:
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
If a Configuration Security Mask is set to192.168.15.255
and an IP address of203.129.75.23
is received, the packet is rejected because 203.129.75 does not
equal 192.168.15. The fourth octet (23) is ‘don’t care’.
If an IP Address of192.168.15.76
is received, the packet is processed because the upper three
octets match. The fourth octet is still ‘don’t care’.
ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254) 4-3
If a Configuration Security Mask is set to192.168.255.76
all source IP Addresses that equal192.168.xxx.76
will be accepted.
RS-232 Baud Rate, TCP/IP Parameters, BOOTP/DHCP, and Ethernet
Speed/Duplex Options
Use the ENI/ENIW IP Addr tab to set the following:
• ENI Series – Select A, B/C or D, depending on which series
ENI/ENIW you are configuring.
• 232 Baud Rate – Select a baud rate or choose Autobaud. See
page 4-14 for more information.
• TCP/IP Parameters – See page 4-15 for more information on
valid addresses.
(1)
• Obtain via BOOTP – At power-up, if the ENI/ENIW does not
already have a saved IP address, it transmits a BOOTP request. If
a BOOTP response is received, this IP address is saved for all
subsequent power cycles. If a BOOTP response is not received,
then the fault LED continues to flash and no further Ethernet
communication takes place (series A, B, and C). For series D
only, in this situation, Ethernet configuration can be
accomplished using the default IP address or 192.168.1.254.
• Other BOOTP/DHCP Options – See the following section on
series B and higher options and also see Table 4.3 on page 4-15
for details on the settings.
TIP
If you want to obtain the TCP/IP information
via BOOTP, you must do that separately from
the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility. See
Appendix B.
(1) Entering leading zeros in the octets of the IP address will not convert the decimal address to a octal value.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
4-4 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
Series B, C, and D Options
The latest 1761-NET-ENI/1761-NET-ENIW Configuration Utility
features the following options that apply to series B or later modules:
• CompactLogix Routing Checkbox – allows a Logix controller
connected to the ENI/ENIW to go online using RSLogix 5000 on
Ethernet.
• Always Checkbox – when this checkbox is selected, the
ENI/ENIW attempts to obtain the BOOTP IP address on every
power cycle. The Always option is only available when Obtain
via BOOTP has already been selected.
• Fallback Checkbox – when this checkbox is selected, the
ENI/ENIW attempts to obtain a BOOTP IP address on every
power cycle. If a response is received, the ENI/ENIW uses the
obtained address. If a response is not received, the ENI/ENIW
“falls back” to the previously assigned IP address. If an IP
address had not previously been assigned, the ENI/ENIW fault
LED continues to flash and no further Ethernet communication
takes place. The Fallback option is only available when Obtain
via BOOTP has already been selected.
• DHCP Checkbox – when this checkbox is selected, the
ENI/ENIW attempts to obtain the IP address from a DHCP server
on every power cycle. If no DHCP reply is received, then
ENI/ENIW fault LED continues to flash and no further Ethernet
communication takes place.
Series D Options
The Ethernet Speed/Duplex selection in the Configuration Utility
applies only to series D or later units. Select a forced speed and
duplex setting or select Auto Negotiate.
Save to ENI/ENIW RAM or ENI/ENIW ROM
You must save the configurations you have set. Click ENI/ENIW RAM
for temporary setups or ENI/ENIW ROM to permanently save your
settings. If you do not save the settings, they will revert to the last
saved settings (or the “out-of-box” if no settings were previously
saved).

Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
4-12 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
Controller Messaging
When using this method, a write message is used to configure the
TCP/IP configuration parameters. A 485CIF write message is initiated
to the controller. CIF stands for Common Interface File and is
supported by all Allen-Bradley programmable controllers that have an
RS-232 port.
TIP
A 485CIF write may also be referred to as a PLC2
Unprotected Write.
The first item to configure is the ENI/ENIW’s IP address on your
network. See the following section, Configuring ENI/ENIW Data
Parameters, for that configuration procedure.
IMPORTANT
The IP addresses in any of the examples in this
manual were arbitrarily assigned and should only be

Node 254 - Ethernet Hardware Address
You will find the hardware address on a label affixed to the ENI/ENIW
as shown to the left. The hardware address can also be read from
node address 254.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
4-14 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
Node 253 - Baud Rate
The first time the ENI/ENIW is powered-up (out-of-the-box), it is set
to Autobaud so that it can synchronize to the attached controller. The
baud rate can be changed by sending a message to address 253 with
one of the configuration values shown in the table below. Changes to
the baud rate take effect when the ENI/ENIW power is cycled or
when a Save configuration to flash command (write to node 248) is
received. The ENI/ENIW also performs a CRC/BCC check when
autobaud is operational.
When Autobaud is selected in an ENI/ENIW series B or higher, the
ENI/ENIW communicates with the DF1 device attached to it at each
power up to determine whether or not the ENI/ENIW should be in
‘CompactLogix Routing’ mode, and to set the baud rate and
checksum.

IMPORTANT
If the controller’s baud rate is from 1200 to 38.4K,
and the ENI/ENIW is configured for Autobaud, the
ENI/ENIW will synchronize with the controller’s
baud rate. The ENI/ENIW cannot Autobaud to 57.6K
to synchronize to the attached controller. You must
manually set the baud rate to 57.6K.
Table 4.3 BOOTP Configuration Settings
ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254) 4-15

IMPORTANT
If BOOTP/DHCP is disabled, or no BOOTP/DHCP
server exists on the network, you must use a soft
configuration method to enter or change the IP
address for each ENI/ENIW. See page 4-1 for more
information.
Node 251 - Email Server
The TCP/IP address stored in this location defines the mail server. The
ENI/ENIW sends all email requests to this server, which then sends
the email message to the destination.
Node 250 - TCP/IP Configuration
This procedure describes configuration for the TCP/IP parameters.
The TCP/IP parameters are configured by sending a message

Utility).
1. Configure a 485CIF/PLC2 write message in the Allen-Bradley
controller.
IMPORTANT
To configure TCP/IP parameters in this manner,
BOOTP and DHCP must be disabled.
Only PLC2 type or 485CIF write messages can
be used to configure the ENI/ENIW, node 250.
2. Set the destination (target) node to 250. Using node address 250
directs this message to the TCP/IP configuration function.
3. The local integer file must be set up for at least 4 integer
locations. The first 4 words define the IP address and are
required. All remaining variables are optional.

ENI/ENIW verifies the first/highest octet of any
IP as follows:
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
• The first octet is between 1 and 223 and
not equal to 127.
• The first two octets are not equal to
169.254 or 169.255.
• The first octet is 0, and the entire IP is
0.0.0.0.
Otherwise the IP address is treated as an error.
For example, 0.168.0.75 is an error, or 127.0.0.0
is an error.

Subnet Mask
A subnet mask is used to interpret IP addresses when the network is
divided into subnets. If your network is not divided into subnets, then
leave the subnet mask at the default or allow the ENI/ENIW
Configuration Utility to assign a default.
The subnet mask defaults to auto-detect mode ‘out-of-box’. As long as
the subnet mask is not manually set, the auto-detect mode follows the
rules as shown below:
Table 4.5 Subnet Mask Auto-Detect Operation
When the IP Address is set to:And the Subnet Mask is in auto-detect:
The Subnet Mask is set to:

Switch-on auto-detect
Subnet Mask Auto-Detect Rules:
• Reading the subnet mask when the IP address is 0.0.0.0 returns a
value of 0.0.0.0.
• When you manually configure the subnet mask, auto-detect is
switched off and the configured mask is used.
• The ENI/ENIW validates the configured subnet mask and if:
– The first octet is not equal to 255, the ENI/ENIW returns
status 0x10 and reverts to the previous mask, or
– The first octet is 255, but the remaining mask is not proper,
the ENI/ENIW returns status 0x10 and reverts to the previous
mask.
• The definition of “proper” is that the mask must be a contiguous
series of 1’s with no zeroes in between (i.e. 255.0.0.0 or
255.224.0.0 or 255.192.0.0 are valid, but 255.160.0.0 is not).
Security Mask
The Security Mask, when configured, allows you to restrict controller
access to sources with IP addresses that are within some prescribed
range. For example, if you wanted to restrict all message sources to be
from within a company’s allocated IP address range, a Security Mask
could be configured that would block any IP address outside that
range. This only applies to messages to the controller. Web page
access, for example, is not restricted.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
4-18 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
The security masks default value is 0.0.0.0 out-of-box, which is
defined as “accept all register session requests”. A Security Mask of
255.255.255.255 is also defined as “accept all register session
requests”.
TIP
The security mask acts as a filter on the source IP
address such that any mask octet set to the value of
255 becomes “don’t care” octets in the source IP
address and all other fields must match exactly.
The follow examples illustrate the behavior of the security masks:

th
octet, 23, is “don’t care”).
You can use one or two security masks. If you wish to use only one
security mask, use Security Mask 1 because it takes precedence over
Security Mask 2 (for example, if Security Mask 1 is accepted, Security
Mask 2 is not evaluated). Details of the relationship between the two
masks are shown in the following table.
Table 4.7 Using Security Mask 1 and Security Mask 2
Example ConditionSecurity Mask Behavior
Security masks 1 and 2 are evaluated using the following logic:
If the security mask 1 filter results in an
“Accept” decision
If the security mask 1 filter results in a
“Deny” decision
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
security mask 2 is not evaluated and the register session request is processed.
security mask 2 is evaluated as follows:
• If the security mask 2 filter results in an “Accept” decision, the register session
request is processed
• If the security mask 2 filter results in a “Deny” decision, the register session
request is not replied to and the socket is closed.
ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254) 4-19
Node 249 - From String
Node 249 holds the ASCII string that is sent with any email message
initiated by the ENI/ENIW. Criteria for a valid email From String
include:
• The From String remains at the default value unless changed by
the user. See page 4-12 for default information.
• The From String must contain an “@” symbol.
• The From String cannot contain any spaces or special ASCII
characters.
• The maximum length of the From String is 64 characters. Any
additional characters are ignored.
• To configure the From String, initiate a message with a string
element as the data. The message instruction procedure is
shown on page 4-24.
Node 248 - Save/Reset Function
Depending on the value of the Save/Reset option, the ENI/ENIW
performs the following operations when receiving a 485CIF/PLC2
Unprotected Write message of one element (integer) to Node 248.

4-20 ENI/ENIW Configuration (Nodes 241 to 254)
Node 245 - Configuration Security Mask
The Configuration Security Mask can limit which computers are
allowed to configure the ENI or ENIW over Ethernet, based on their IP
Address. A Configuration Security Mask of 000.000.000.000 or
255.255.255.255 allows any computer to configure the ENI or ENIW
over Ethernet. Otherwise, the Configuration Security Mask allows user
to select an IP Address, or range of IP Addresses that may be used for
configuration over Ethernet. The mask is configured as follows:
If a Configuration Security Mask is set to192.168.15.255
and an IP address of203.129.75.23
is received, the packet is rejected because 203.129.75 does not
equal 192.168.15. The fourth octet (23) is ‘don’t care’.
If an IP Address of192.168.15.76
is received, the packet is processed because the upper three
octets match. The fourth octet is still ‘don’t care’.
If a Configuration Security Mask is set to192.168.255.76
all source IP Addresses that equal192.168.xxx.76
will be accepted.
This procedure describes the application of the Configuration Security
Mask. The Configuration Security Mask is configured by sending a
message instruction to the ENI/ENIW, or by using the ENI/ENIW
Configuration Utility.
1. Configure a 485CIF/PLC2 write message in the Allen-Bradley
controller.
2. Set the destination (target) node to 245. Using node address 245
directs this message to the Configuration Security Mask function.
3. The local integer file must be set up for 4 integer locations.

Peer-to-Peer Messaging
This chapter describes messaging between the ENI/ENIW and DF1
devices. The following topics are covered:
• Messaging Between the ENI/ENIW and DF1 Devices
• Message to Configuration Nodes (Nodes 100 to 149) and
Sending a Message to a Destination Controller (Nodes 0 to 49)
5
Messaging Between the
ENI/ENIW and DF1 Devices
The ENI/ENIW can route a DF1 message received from the attached
controller to a compatible destination TCP/IP device, using DF1 node
addresses 0 through 49. ENI/ENIW Node addresses 100 through 149
store TCP/IP destination addresses. When the ENI/ENIW receives a
write message to nodes 100 to 149, it stores the TCP/IP destination
address in the corresponding map register.
To configure the destination TCP/IP addresses, you can use either the
ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility, or you can send a 485CIF/PLC2
message to each node as described in this section.
The table below illustrates the relationship between messages and
their corresponding configuration addresses.

5-2 Peer-to-Peer Messaging
IMPORTANT
If the ENI/ENIW receives a 485CIF/PLC2 read message to any of its
configuration addresses (nodes 100 to 149), the ENI/ENIW responds
with the current configuration of that node/address.
Using the configuration shown in Table 5.1; if the controller initiates a
read or write message to node 0, the ENI/ENIW forwards the request
to the TCP/IP address at Node 100 (111.222.233.200).
When the ENI/ENIW receives a 485CIF/PLC2 write
message to a configuration node address (100
through 149), it closes any open communications
currently active on that connection and reconfigures
the IP address to match the new configuration.
If the received data matches the current
configuration, the ENI/ENIW closes any open
communications with the destination device.
You must wait at least one second before sending a
new message to that node address or you may
receive a connection error.
Message to Configuration
Nodes (Nodes 100 to 149)
and Sending a Message to
a Destination Controller
(Nodes 0 to 49)
When the ENI/ENIW receives a message from the attached controller
to Node Address 0 to 49, it looks up the TCP/IP address associated
with the address at Nodes 100 to 149. The ENI/ENIW preserves the
original DF1 address when sending back a reply.
The following table illustrates the relationship between configuration
addresses and their corresponding messaging address.

IMPORTANT
In the ENI/ENIW, node addresses 45 through 49 are
dedicated for sending messages to any Logix
controllers with integral Ethernet ports. In addition,
when sending messages to a ControlLogix controller
via a 1756-ENBT, the controller MUST be in slot 0 of
the ControlLogix chassis for the message to be
delivered to it.
Node addresses 0 through 44 are to be used for all
other Ethernet devices, such as other MicroLogix
controllers connected to ENI/ENIW modules or other
controllers with integral Ethernet ports, such as SLC
5/05, PLC-5E, and MicroLogix 1100.
To configure the route address (nodes 100 to 149), write a
485CIF/PLC2 message with 4 integer data words. An example is
shown in the next section of this chapter.
The procedure to send configuration data (nodes 100 to 149), or data
(nodes 0 to 49) is exactly the same as discussed previously in
‘Configuring ENI/ENIW Data Parameters’ on page 4-22.
Open the message instruction and enter the appropriate variables. The
variables are described in Table 5.3 on page 5-4.

EMail Messages (Node 50 to 99)
This chapter describes using the ENI/ENIW’s email feature. The
following topics are included:
• Overview
• Configuring Email
• Sending an Email Message
6
Overview
The ENI/ENIW is capable of transmitting email messages generated by
the attached controller. This provides an extremely versatile
mechanism to report alarms, status, and other data-related functions.
To send an email message, the controller generates a 485CIF/PLC2
write message, with a string element as the data, to a node number
that correlates to the email destination address.
IMPORTANT
Email messages can only be initiated by controllers
that support String elements. Therefore, this
functionality cannot be used with the
MicroLogix 1000 family of controllers.
ENI/ENIW email behavior in a system is described by the following
diagram.

Configuring Email
SMTP Email Address
To configure the email function, at least two parameters must be
configured:
• SMTP Mail Server IP address - configured by sending a write
message to node 251 (email server). See page 4-15 for more
information.
IMPORTANT
• A “From” String - configure by sending a write message to
node 249 (from string). The string element text can be stored in
a String File as shown below. The string element text (ASCII
characters) contains the verbatim “from” string. See page 4-24
for more information.
The ENI/ENIW only accepts the configuration
in the form of 4 elements (words) from an
Integer file.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
For series D ENI/ENIW only:
• SMTP Authentication -- can be enabled or disabled by sending a
write message to node 244. See page 4-20 for more information.
• SMTP Username -- if SMTP Authentication in enabled, Username
can be configured by sending a write message to node 242. See
page 4-21 for more information.
• SMTP Password -- if SMTP Authentication in enabled, Password
can be configured by sending a write message to node 243. See
page 4-21.
EMail Messages (Node 50 to 99) 6-3
Destination Addresses
The ENI/ENIW stores email addresses; it does not store the email
messages. To store a destination address, write a message to a specific
node number (nodes 150 to 199). The message data must be a string
element that contains a valid email ASCII text string address, as
illustrated in ST15:2 through ST15:5 in the example below.
IMPORTANT
Remember the following when setting up destination
addresses:
• The ENI/ENIW can store up to 50 email
addresses.
• Email addresses can be up to 45 characters long;
exceeding this will result in an error.
• The email address must contain an “@” character.
• Email addresses cannot contain any spaces or any
other special ASCII characters other than the “@”
character.
Message Text
To send the actual email message, the controller generates a write
message, with a string element as the data (see ST15:7 to ST15:9 in the
example above) to a node number (50 to 99) that correlates to the
email address (150 to 199).
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
6-4 EMail Messages (Node 50 to 99)
Message Fields (to, from, subject)
The ENI/ENIW includes the “to”, “from”, and “subject” fields in the
body of the message.
The default “from” text is ENI0.0.0.0@eni1761.org
(ENI192.168.1.254@ENI1761.org for series D). This can be changed in
the ENI/ENIW configuration, Node 249. See page 6-2 or Chapter 4.
The standard format of the “subject” line is:
Subject: 1761ENI.MSG(plus the first 32 characters of text)
For example, if the message text was “The quick brown fox jumped
over the lazy dog’s back”, the “subject” line would read:
Subject 1761ENI.MSG(The quick brown fox jumped over)
Sending an Email Message
The ENI/ENIW uses a pair of node addresses to send email or data
messages over TCP/IP. To send email, two sets of addresses are used
as illustrated in the table below. Node numbers 150 to 199 are used to
define or store the actual email address, and nodes 50 to 99 are used
to send the string element to the email recipient. The maximum size
of the message is 1 string element of 82 bytes.

when these characters are used in an email message.
Avoid using non-printable ASCII characters such as
Carriage Return, Line Feed, Tabs, etc.
TIP
The procedure to send configuration strings (nodes
150 to 199), or message strings (nodes 50 to 99) is
exactly the same as discussed, “Configuring

1761-NET-ENIW Web Server Capabilities
This chapter covers using the ENIW’s web server features. It describes:
• web browser compatibility
• pages and file types
• defining URL links
• displaying device data on web pages
• ENIW update timer
• posting data to the device
• displaying event data
• using the ENIW Utility to configure the ENIW’s web server
functionality
Web Browser Compatibility
Series D ENIW Web Pages
You can access information from the ENIW via your web browser.
Simply enter the ENIW’s TCP/IP address into the address field of your
browser.
Because the ENIW standard web pages use frames and a cascading
style sheet, your browser must support both of these features. The
minimum web browser versions are Netscape
Internet Explorer 5.5.
Series D 1761-NET-ENIW units feature revised format web pages, and
the addition of a Diagnostics page. The example graphics and
descriptions included in this section are representative of series D
units. While the page style and format are different from the series B
and C ENIW units, the functionality is similar, except for the addition
of the diagnostics page.
The web pages served by the 1761-NET-ENIW consist of two frames.
The upper frame is common for all pages, and includes the graphic
elements shown below:
®

The lower frame is scrollable and consists of a group of static and
dynamic web pages in tabbed format. The page tabs are labelled:
• Home
• Data View 1 through 4
• Events
• Diagnostics
• Reference
Home Page
The Home page displays a titled, bulleted list of 17 URL links. The first
seven links have fixed URLs, providing links to the four Data View
pages, the Event page, the Diagnostics page, and the Reference page.
The remaining links can be defined by the user as described on page
7-3.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
The ENIW Home Page title and the first four links (Data View Pages 1
through 4) can be renamed using the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility
or through the use of write message instructions from the attached
controller.
Use a write message of a single string to the offset elements of node
200 as specified in the table below. For SLC or MicroLogix 485CIF
Write MSG instruction, enter the offset value in decimal. For Logix
1761-NET-ENIW Web Server Capabilities 7-3

The ENIW allows limited HTML formatting. For example, the string
‘<B>Go to Allen-Bradley website</B>’ would create a bold title.
IMPORTANT
The ENIW does not validate HTML code or provide
protection against HTML coding errors.
The links to the ENIW Event Page, ENIW Diagnostics Page, and ENIW
User Reference Page cannot be changed.
Defining URL Links
In addition to the 7 URL links already discussed, the ENIW Home
Page includes 10 user-defined links that can be customized for your
application. These links can be configured using the ENI/ENIW
Configuration Utility or using write messages from the attached
controller.
To define these links, use write messages to elements of node 200, as
listed in Table 7.2. The first write message contains the title of the link
and the second write message contains the URL. Each string may be
up to 45 characters in length. For SLC or MicroLogix 485CIF Write
MSG instruction, enter the offset value in decimal. For Logix PLC-2
Unprotected Write MSG instruction, enter the element value in octal.
EXAMPLE
When defining User Link 1 as a link to the
Allen-Bradley website, ST Offset 3 is the user text
displayed, in this case ‘Go to AB main website’; ST
Offset 4 is the URL, in this case ‘http://www.ab.com’.

Displaying Device Data
The four Data View pages show data pushed to the ENIW by the
attached device. If no data has been written to the ENIW by the
attached device or configuration utility, these pages display empty
cells. The integer and floating-point data on this page is volatile and is
cleared every time the ENIW boots.
Each of the four Data View pages are titled with either the default
“Data View Page 1 of 4" etc., or with user-defined page names. See
page 7-3 for information on how to rename the Data View pages.
Data View pages display string data in column 1 and either integer or
floating point data in column 2.
Figure 7.1 Data View Page
String Data
String Data for the Data View pages is written to Node 201, offset
elements 1 to 40 as described in Table 7.3. Strings are left-justified.
For SLC or MicroLogix 485CIF Write MSG instruction, enter the offset
value in decimal. For Logix PLC-2 Unprotected Write MSG instruction,
enter the element value in octal.

right-justified, signed decimal numbers from -32768 to +32767.
IMPORTANT
The 1761-NET-ENIW does not support either 485CIF
Writes or PLC2 (Unprotected Writes) for displaying
integer or floating-point device data. Instead, the
web page DST of the ENIW uses the SLC-type write
(Protected Type Logical Write with three address
fields), which allows the data type and element
index to be relevant.

Floating-point Data
Floating-point data for the Data View pages is written to Node 203,
offset elements 0 through 11, as described in Table 7.3.
Floating-points in column 2 are right-justified with 7 significant digits
plus the decimal point. If an exponent is required, it is displayed as
‘e±xx’ with one significant digit to the left of the decimal point. The
valid range is ±1.175495e-38 to ±3.402823e+38.

Auto-Refresh of Data View Pages
By default, each Data View page has an update frequency of 10
seconds. You can enter a refresh time in seconds (5 to 9999) and post
this information to the ENIW by clicking anywhere within the frame.
Figure 7.5 Auto-refresh Field
ENIW Update Timer
TIP
The ENIW provides a counter displaying the time, in seconds, since
the last PLC write to the ENIW. The counter resets to 0 whenever the
ENIW detects a valid write on one of the following nodes:
• 201 (Strings)
• 202 (Integers)
• 203 (Floating-points)
• 204 (Event Strings)
• 205 (Null String to Clear)
The counter displays a maximum value of 65,535 seconds. Once the
counter reaches that maximum, it displays a value of 65,535 until it
detects a valid write. The counter is viewable on all four of the ENIW’s
Data View pages.
To avoid excessive loading of the Ethernet network,
set the refresh rate as long as is practical for your
application and set the value to 9999 when not in
use.

7-10 1761-NET-ENIW Web Server Capabilities
Posting Data to the Device
Each of the four Data View pages has the option for user updates to
the attached device using 500CPU/SLC-type write messages. Each of
these pages protects data using a unique, case-sensitive password
containing a maximum of 8 characters. You must enter the correct
password to enable device update.
Setting Passwords for Data View Pages
Passwords for the Data View pages are configured using 485CIF string
writes to elements of Node 200, as listed in Table 7.4.
For SLC or MicroLogix 485CIF Write MSG instruction, enter the offset
value in decimal. For Logix PLC-2 Unprotected Write MSG instruction,
enter the element value in octal.
Table 7.4 Setting Passwords
To set a password for:write a string to Node 200:Default password

Page 2offset 26, element 06400
Page 3offset 28, element 07000
Page 4offset 30, element 07400
A page’s password can configure the ENIW to disable device update
or to remove the password protection. To disable device update, enter
a null string in the password field. To allow device update, enter a
case-sensitive string of one to eight characters in the password field.
To permit widespread access, use a ‘*’ password.
Passwords may also be configured from the ENI/ENIW Configuration
Utility.
Posting Data
Values entered in column three of the Data View pages are written by
the ENIW to the attached device once you’ve entered the password
after displaying the page and clicking on the Write to Device button.
The ENIW writes one value at a time to the data table addresses
shown in the table below. (Multiple values are not combined into one
SLC type Write message). The Data Table addresses are also reflected
in column four of each user page.

Integer data, written to N50 can be in the range of -32768 to +32767.
Floating point data, written to F51, can be any valid 32-bit floating
point number. However, ASCII representation is limited to 7 characters
plus the decimal and any exponents.
Display Event Data
Values that do not change are not written to the device. The data is
not validated by the ENIW. Failed writes are indicated by six question
marks (??????).
TIP
The device updates run at a slightly higher priority
than regular EtherNet/IP network traffic. However,
the ENIW does not guarantee delivery or write
performance and will discard data after the standard
DF1 retry and timeout periods.
The Event page is a dynamic page that displays lines buffered by the
ENIW as a last specified number of events (Event Log) as shown
below.
Publication 1761-UM006E-EN-P - August 2005
7-12 1761-NET-ENIW Web Server Capabilities
Figure 7.7 Example Event Page
The Event page displays a log of events in a buffered list composed of
up to 50 string elements. Each string is displayed in a single line on
the page.
Display Diagnostic Data
The event log displays the last number (n) of strings received, with the
newest message at the top. Once the buffer is full, each new string
received overwrites the oldest.
Strings written by the attached device to the ENIW to node 204 at
element 0 are added to the Event Log.
A string written to node 205 clears the buffer.
A Diagnostics page has been added to series D ENI/ENIW units. The
diagnostics page provides module specific information, as well as a
dynamic display of ENI/ENIW Ethernet connection utilization.
The ENI/ENIW can support 6 concurrent TCP/IP connections; 2
incoming; 2 outgoing; and two that can be allocated as either
incoming or outgoing.
Each TCP/IP connection simultaneously supports:
• 4 CIP connections
• 5 Unconnected sends

Personal Computer with
RSLogix 5000, RSLogix 500
and RSLinx
MicroLogix 1500
The computer must include the following software:
• RSLogix5000
• RSLinx, version 2.31.00 or later
• RSLogix500
• ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility
The Ethernet Interface Card in the computer is used to connect
directly to the SLC 5/05 controller (channel 1), to the ControlLogix
controller via the 1756-ENBT card, and to the CompactLogix controller
via a series B/C/D ENI/ENIW. Alternatively, the computer’s COMM
Port can be used to connect to the CompactLogix controller via two
ENI/ENIW modules.
IMPORTANT
If the CompactLogix controller is connected to a ENI
series A, then you must connect a second ENI/ENIW
to your PC’s RS-232 port (as shown in the example
network on page 8-2) in order to go online with it
using RSLogix 5000. If the CompactLogix controller is
connected via a ENI/ENIW series B/C/D, then you
may go online with it using RSLogix 5000 through
the PC’s Ethernet card.

Connecting CompactLogix Controllers on Ethernet 8-3
Purpose
Scope
Provide Ethernet connectivity for CompactLogix controllers via the
RS-232 serial port and the ENI/ENIW module.
Connecting CompactLogix controllers on Ethernet requires one
ENI/ENIW per CompactLogix controller. The ENI/ENIW converts
RS-232 hardware connections and DF1 full-duplex protocol to
Ethernet hardware connections and EtherNet/IP protocol.
The ENI/ENIW must be configured with IP addresses assigned to
node numbers 0 to 49. The Destination Node Address in DF1
messages is then used by the ENI/ENIW to route the message to the
proper device on Ethernet.
This application example shows how to configure the ENI/ENIW
module and how to send messages from the CompactLogix controller
to the other controllers on Ethernet. This example also shows how to
initiate messages from the Ethernet controllers to the CompactLogix
controller. Messages sent to the ENI/ENIW module’s IP address will be
delivered to the serial port of the CompactLogix controller.
TIP
In the ENI/ENIW, node addresses 45 through 49 are
dedicated for sending messages to any Logix
controllers with integral Ethernet ports. In addition,
when sending messages to a ControlLogix controller
via a 1756-ENBT, the controller MUST be in slot 0 of
the ControlLogix chassis for the message to be
delivered to it.
Node addresses 0 through 44 are to be used for all
other Ethernet devices, such as other MicroLogix
controllers connected to ENI/ENIW modules or other
controllers with integral Ethernet ports, such as
SLC 5/05, PLC-5E, and MicroLogix 1100.

8-4 Connecting CompactLogix Controllers on Ethernet
For this example, we will assign the following IP addresses to the
devices on Ethernet:
Table 8.1 Example IP Addresses for Ethernet Devices
DeviceNode Address (for L20 MSG)IP Address
SLC-5/051131.200.50.92
1756-ENBT45131.200.50.93

1761-NET-ENI #1N/A131.200.50.95
Computer Ethernet CardN/A131.200.50.96
General CompactLogix
Messaging Guidelines
IMPORTANT
The IP addresses in Table 8.1 were arbitrarily
assigned for this example and should only be used
on an isolated Ethernet network as in this example.
Contact your system administrator for unique IP
addresses if you are connecting your Ethernet
devices to your company’s Ethernet network.
Rungs 0 and 1, shown in Figure 8.2, of the CompactLogix controller’s
ladder program show an example of throttling two message (MSG)
instructions. In this case, sending a MSG to the SLC 5/05, and then
when it’s complete (Done bit set), initiating a MSG to the
1756-ENBT/ControlLogix controller and so on. The two MSG
instructions toggle, with only one outstanding MSG at a time.
This is recommended for the CompactLogix controller to keep the
amount of user memory needed for incoming and outgoing messages
to a minimum. Each message requires approximately 1.1K bytes of
user memory, allocated when the message is to be sent or received. If
two messages were enabled at the same time, 2.2K bytes of user
memory would need to be available.

Configure ENI #1
The ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility, free software designed for
configuring the 1761-NET-ENI/1761-NET-ENIW, is available for
download from www.ab.com/micrologix
TIP
First, configure the ENI/ENIW module connected to the computer.
This is ENI #1 per Figure 8.1. A 1761-CBL-PM02 serial cable is used to
connect a computer serial communication port to the RS-232 mini-DIN
serial port on the ENI/ENIW. The ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility is
If the CompactLogix controller is connected to a
series B/C/D ENI/ENIW and your computer has an
Ethernet network connection, you may skip directly
to Configure ENI #2 on page 8-7.

used to configure this ENI/ENIW. When you start the ENI/ENIW
Configuration Utility, the following screen appears:
Figure 8.3 ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility ENI IP Addr Screen
For this example, we use 38400 baud on all serial connections. We
also assign IP addresses to all Ethernet products rather than using
BOOTP.
IMPORTANT
The ENI series listed on the ENI IP Addr tab
determines which fields are available to modify. If
you attempt to save a higher series configuration to a
lower series ENI, the save will fail. However, a lower
series configuration can be saved to a higher series
ENI.
The “ENI IP Addr” tab and the “Message Routing” tab in the
ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility must be modified for the purposes of
this example. The IP address for the ENI/ENIW connected to the
CompactLogix controller (ENI #2) is the only address we need to add
to the ENI #1 Message Routing table. The other two Ethernet devices
are accessed by the computer via the computer’s Ethernet card. Set up
the two ENI #1 tabs as follows:

Connecting CompactLogix Controllers on Ethernet 8-7
Figure 8.5 ENI #1 Configuration - Message Routing Screen
Before we download our configuration to ENI #1, we must configure
the “Utility Settings” tab in the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility.
Choose the following settings.
Figure 8.6 ENI #1 Configuration - Utility Settings Screen
Configure ENI #2
Then, connect the serial cable between your computer and ENI #1
and click on the ENI IP Addr tab. From this tab, under the “Save To”
column, click the ENI ROM button. This downloads your
configuration parameters to ENI #1 and saves it to non-volatile
memory.
ENI #2 is connected to the CompactLogix controller. This ENI/ENIW
must be configured with its own IP address (131.200.50.94 for this
example) and we must add the IP addresses of the SLC 5/05 controller
and the 1756-ENBT/ControlLogix controller to its Message Routing
table. The Message Routing table allows for up to 50 IP addresses to

be linked to DF1 destination node addresses, for the following
purposes:
Table 8.2 Message Routing
NodesFunction
0 to 44Use when sending messages to any Ethernet device, other than Logix
45 to 49Use when sending messages to Logix controllers with integral Ethernet ports.
At this point we need to configure ENI #2 as we did ENI #1, using the
ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility.
You could also use the method outlined in Chapter 5 to configure ENI
#2. This method sends configuration Messages from the CompactLogix
controller via the DF1 link. If for any reason this ENI/ENIW would
need to be replaced, it could then be easily and quickly configured
via messages from the CompactLogix controller. A ladder program to
accomplish this is shown on page 8-10.
controllers with integral Ethernet ports, that supports the same command set
as the CompactLogix controller, i.e. SLC 5/05, PLC-5E and other ENI/ENIW
modules. We will use the PLC-5 Typed Write commands for this example. CIP
commands are not supported by the ENI/ENIW.
When sending to a ControlLogix Controller via a 1756-ENBT, the controller
MUST be in slot 0 of the ControlLogix chassis for the message to be delivered
to it.
Configure ENI #2 Via the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility
When you start the ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility, the following
screen appears:
Figure 8.7 ENI/ENIW Configuration Utility ENI IP Addr Screen
For this example, we use 38400 baud on all serial connections. The
“232 Baud Rate” field on the “ENI IP Addr tab” must be left at “Auto”
for the series B/C/D ENI/ENIW to detect that a CompactLogix
controller is attached to it, and that it should use bridged mode,
allowing RSLogix 5000 to upload/download/go online with the
CompactLogix from Ethernet. We also assign IP addresses to all
Ethernet products rather than using BOOTP.
