Safety Precautions
Read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is
transmitting control I/O to the end device, the end device can fault when you
reset the adapter. Determine how your end device responds before resetting an
adapter.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Various parameters in
the end device let you determine the action of the adapter and connected end
device if I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default,
these parameters turn off the outputs of the connected E3 Plus and 825-P. You
can set these parameters so that outputs react as desired (for example, to keep
the motor running). Take precautions to be sure that the settings of these
parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When
commissioning the end device, verify that your system responds correctly to
various situations (for example, a disconnected cable or a faulted controller).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system
testing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this
publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many
variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation, Inc.
does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property
liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
Quick Start
This section is provided to help experienced users quickly start using the adapter.
If you are unsure how to complete a step, refer to the referenced chapter.
Step Action Refer to
1 Review the safety precautions for the adapter. Throughout This Manual
2 Verify that the end device is properly installed. End Device User Manual
3 Install the adapter.
Verify that the end device is not powered. Then, connect the adapter to the
network by using an Ethernet cable. Connect the end device by using the
2100-ENET to DeviceNet cable. Use the panel mounting holes to secure and
ground the adapter to the mounting surface. The DIN Rail adapter can also be
used to mount the adapter.
When installing the adapter by using the DIN Rail adapter, the following parts
are needed:
(1) PN-107443: DIN Rail Adapter
(2) 419062-3PEF: M3 x 0.5 flat head screw
4 Apply power to the adapter.
The adapter requires 24V DC to operate. This connection also supplies 24V DC to
the end device for the powerup and DeviceNet communication to the
2100-ENET adapter.
5 Configure the adapter.
Set the IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the adapter.
Important: These are the only parameters that need to be configured in the
adapter because all of the other configuration lies with the end device.
Configure the end device parameters as required by your application.
Important: The node address must be 63 and the data rate must be either
500 Kpbs or set to autobaud in the end device.
6 Configure the controller to communicate with the adapter.
Use a controller configuration tool, such as RSLogix software, to configure the
master on the EtherNet/IP network to recognize the adapter and end device.
7 Create a ladder logic program.
Use a controller configuration tool, such as RSLogix software, to create a ladder
logic program that enables you to do the following:
• Control the adapter and connected drive by using I/O.
• Monitor or configure the end device by using Explicit messages.

Chapter 2
Prepare for an Installation
Before installing the adapter, refer to these guidelines:
• Make sure the Ethernet switch is the correct type. A managed switch that
supports Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is
usually recommended. An unmanaged switch can be used instead if
RSLogix 5000 software, version 18 or later, is used and all devices on the
network are configured for unicast I/O. For more details, see the following
documents:
– EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual, ODVA
publication 148
– EtherNet/IP Network Infrastructure Guidelines, ODVA publication
35
– Ethernet Design Considerations Reference Manual, Rockwell
Automation publication ENET-RM002
• Understand IGMP Snooping/Ethernet Switches
The 2100-ENET adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an
IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one
2100-ENET adapters are connected to the switch, a managed switch is
required—otherwise the end device can fault on a communication
(comms) loss. The 2100-ENET adapter, RSLogix 5000 software,
version 18 or later, and a ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™ controller
supports unicast. When all Ethernet connections are set up as unicast
devices in RSLogix 5000 software, then an IGMP snooping (managed)
switch is not needed.
Much of EtherNet/IP network implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP
multicast to distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the
CIP producer/consumer model. Historically, most switches have
treated multicast packets the same as broadcast packets. That is, all
multicast packets are re-transmitted to all ports.
Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-UM006A-EN-P - July 2013 13
Chapter 2 Install the Adapter
IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by
dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is
forwarded only to ports associated with a particular IP multicast group.
Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) learn which
ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and
forward only the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the
multicast group.
Be careful as to what level of support a switch has of IGMP snooping.
Some layer 2 switches that support IGMP snooping require a router,
which could be a layer 3 switch, to send out IGMP polls to learn what
devices are part of the multicast group. Some layer 2 switches can use
IGMP snooping without a router sending polls. If your control system
is a stand-alone network or is required to continue performing if the
router is out of service, make sure the switch you are using supports
IGMP snooping without a router being present:

Configure the Adapter Chapter 3
Set a Fault Action
By default, when I/O communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected) or the controller is idle (in Program mode or faulted), the end
device responds by faulting, if it is using I/O from the network. You can
configure a different response to a communication fault or an idle controller in
the end device. For instructions on how to change the fault or idle actions, refer
to the appropriate user manual.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Various parameters in
the end device let you determine the action of the adapter and the end device if
I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these
parameters turn off the outputs of the end device. You can set these parameters
so that the outputs react as desired (for example, to keep the motor running).
Take precautions to be sure that the settings of these parameters do not create a
risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the end device, verify
that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a
disconnected cable or faulted controller).

Reset the Adapter
Update the Adapter
Changes to some of the parameters in the E3 Plus or 825-P (for example, input
and output assemblies) require that the adapter is reset before the new settings
take effect. You can reset the adapter by power cycling the 2100-ENET adapter or
by clicking Reset Module in the E3 Plus or 825-P AOP.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is
transmitting control I/O to the end device, the end device can fault when you
reset the adapter. Determine how your end device responds before resetting a
connected adapter.
When a Reset Module is issued, the 2100-ENET adapter immediately resets.
When this occurs, the E3 Plus or 825-P does not reset.
The adapter can be updated over the network. ControlFLASH™ software, a tool
provided by Allen-Bradley, is used for updating the adapter.

Chapter 4 Configure the I/O
TIP
There are three ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:
• End device Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or later)
• Classic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 15 only)
• Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)
These are described in separate sections below. If your version of RSLogix 5000
software supports Add-on Profiles, we recommend using this method.
Using RSLogix 5000 End Device Add-on Profiles (version 16 or later)
When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile, version 15 only, or
Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profiles provide these
advantages:
• Profiles for specific E3 Plus or 825-P that provide descriptive controller
tags for the Input and Output Assembly. These profiles virtually eliminate
I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce configuration time.
• Unicast connection, version 18 or later.
Add the End Device/Adapter to the I/O Configuration
To transmit data between the bridge and the end device, you must add the end
device as a child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000
software, version 20, is used with Add-on Profile, version 1.01.
1. In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module.
The Select Module screen appears. In our example, we right-click the
1756-ENBT bridge. Expand the Other group to display all of the available

download the configuration to the controller. Also save the configuration to a file
on your computer.
When using RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or later, you can add the I/O
configuration of a Generic Profile while the controller is online and in the Run mode.
1. In the RSLogix 5000 window, from the Communications menu, choose
Download.
The Download dialog box appears.
If a message box reports that RSLogix 5000 software is unable to go online, from the
Communications menu, choose Who Active to find your controller in the Who Active
dialog box. After finding and selecting the controller, click Set Project Path to establish
the path. If your controller does not appear, you need to add or configure the EtherNet/
IP network driver in RSLinx software. See Use RSLinx Classic Software
on page 25 for
details.

Limitations When Using PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100 or MicroLogix 1400 Controllers
Controlling I/O with explicit messages is relatively complex compared to normal
implicit I/O control.
ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with EtherNet/IP network provide
the easiest and most integrated form of implicit I/O control for an E3 Plus or
825-P module. Programming software RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or
later, for ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers contains E3 Plus or 825-P
module Add-on Profiles that, with a few clicks of the mouse, automatically create
all controller tags and an implicit connection at the specified Requested Packet
Interval to control the end device. This connection is monitored at both ends to
be sure that the controller and end device are communicating. A watchdog causes
the end device to fault if the end device does not respond within approximately
100 milliseconds. Therefore, using a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller
is the preferred method of controlling the end device on EtherNet/IP network.
If you are not using either of these type of controllers, then the E3 Plus or 825-P
module on EtherNet/IP network can be controlled with explicit messages by
using PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100 or MicroLogix 1400 controllers
with the following limitations:
• An explicit message is a much slower form of control and is
non-deterministic. This means that you cannot guarantee how long the
end device takes to turn an output on or off when the command is given.
Therefore, subject all equipment used in this manner to a risk assessment,
taking into account the mechanical and electrical implementation.
• A timeout value (in seconds) in the adapter issues a fault on the end device
if a message is not received from the controller within the specified time.
However, the controller has no way of detecting a loss of communication
to the end device until the next cycle of explicit messages. This is another
factor in the risk assessment.
• Any additional end devices to be controlled requires additional explicit
messages for their control, and they need to be carefully sequenced. Most
controllers have small communication queues (refer to its user manual),
which need to be carefully managed if messages are not to be lost.
Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-UM006A-EN-P - July 2013 39
Chapter 4 Configure the I/O
• Each controller has a limited number of communication connections
(refer to its user manual for maximum connections), which limits the
number of end devices that can be connected.
In summary, unlike a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller, programming a
PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100 or MicroLogix 1400 controller by using
RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 software with explicit messages is more difficult, and
produces a more complex program.

chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the adapter and
controller.
The terms input and output are defined from the controller’s point of view.
Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and consumed by
the E3 Plus module. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the E3 Plus
module and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image varies based on

ControlLogix Example
In this ControlLogix example, we create ladder logic by using the RSLogix
Add-on Profiles in several situations.
Create Ladder Logic by Using the RSLogix 5000 E3 Plus Module Add-E3 Plus on Profiles (version 16 or later)
For this example, a ControlLogix L75 controller energizes OutputA on an E3
Plus by using the E3 Plus Add-on Profile. The adapter is configured at address
10.90.232.85 on the EtherNet/IP network. Its Output Assembly is configured to
use Assembly 105, and its Input Assembly is configured to use Assembly 100 (this

image that you can use to directly control and monitor the drive without creating
any ladder logic program. However, if you intend to use Human Machine
Interface devices (for example, PanelView™ terminal) to operate the drive and

program that passes the Controller tag data to the Program tags.

Because the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile has been significantly improved upon
by RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profiles, version 16 or later, it is highly
recommended to use RSLogix 5000 E3 Plus module Add-on Profiles to take
advantage of its benefits (more intuitive, time saving, and less likely to make
ladder logic program errors).

About Explicit Messaging
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. If Explicit Messages are
programmed to write parameter data to nonvolatile storage (NVS) frequently,
the NVS quickly exceeds its life cycle and causes the E3 Plus module to
malfunction. Do not create a program that frequently uses Explicit Messages to
write parameter data to NVS.
Explicit Messaging is used to transfer data that does not require continuous
updates. With Explicit Messaging, you can configure and monitor a slave device’s
parameters on the network.
When an explicit message is performed, by default no connection is made
because it is an unconnected message. When timing of the message
transaction is important, you can create a dedicated message connection
between the controller and the end device by checking the Connected box on
the Communications tab message configuration dialog box during message
setup. These message connections are in addition to the I/O connection.
However, the trade off for more message connections is decreased network
performance. If your application cannot tolerate this, do not check the
Connected box, which is recommended.

TIP
Performing Explicit Messages
There are five basic events in the Explicit Messaging process. The details of each
step varies depending on the type of controller being used. Refer to the
documentation for your controller.
There must be a request message and a response message for all Explicit
Messages, whether you are reading or writing data.
Figure 10: Explicit Message Process
Explicit Message Descriptions
• You format the required data and configure the ladder logic program to
send an Explicit Message request to the scanner or bridge module
(download).
• The scanner or bridge module transmits the Explicit Message Request to
the slave device over the network.
• The slave device transmits the Explicit Message Response back to the
scanner. The data is stored in the scanner buffer.
• The controller retrieves the Explicit Message Response from the scanner’s
buffer (upload).
• The Explicit Message is complete.
For information on the maximum number of Explicit Messages that can be
executed at a time, refer to the user manual for the scanner or bridge and/or
controller that is being used.
ControlLogix Examples
To display the Message Configuration dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software, add a
message instruction (MSG), create a new tag for the message (Properties: Base tag
type, MESSAGE data type, controller scope), and click the button in the
message instruction.

Glossary
The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this manual. For
definitions of terms not listed here, refer to the Allen-Bradley Industrial
Automation Glossary, publication AG-7.1
A
Adapter Devices such as drives, controllers, and computers usually require an adapter to
provide a communication interface between them and a network such as
EtherNet/IP network. An adapter reads data on the network and transmits it to
the connected device. It also reads data in the device and transmits it to the
network.
The 2100-ENET E3 Plus EtherNet/IP network adapter connects multiple
devices to an EtherNet/IP network. Adapters are sometimes also called cards,
embedded communication options, gateways, modules, and peripherals.
B
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) BOOTP lets the adapter configure itself dynamically at boot time if the network
has a BOOTP server. The BOOTP server assigns the adapter a preconfigured IP
address, a subnet mask, and a gateway address; therefore, you do not have to
configure these by using the parameters in the adapter. BOOTP can make it
easier to administer an Ethernet network. A free version of the Rockwell
Software® BOOTP Server can be accessed at http://
www.software.rockwell.com/support/download/detail.cfm?ID=3390.
.
Bridge A network device that can route messages from one network to another. A bridge
also refers to a communication module in a ControlLogix controller that
connects the controller to a network. See also Scanner.
C
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) CIP is the transport and application layer protocol used for messaging over
EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet networks. The protocol is used for
implicit messaging (real-time I/O) and explicit messaging (configuration, data
collection, and diagnostics).
ControlFLASH An Allen-Bradley software tool that lets users electronically update firmware on
printed circuit boards.
Controller A controller, also called programmable logic controller, is a solid-state control
system that has a user-programmable memory for storage of instructions to
implement specific functions such as I/O control, logic, timing, counting, report
generation, communication, arithmetic, and data file manipulation. A controller
consists of a central processor, input/output interface, and memory. See also
Scanner.
Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-UM006A-EN-P - July 2013 63
Glossary
D
Data Rate The speed at which data is transferred on the EtherNet/IP network.
Duplex Duplex describes the mode of communication. Full-duplex communication lets a
device exchange data in both directions at the same time. Half-duplex
communication lets a device exchange data only in one direction at a time. The
duplex used by the adapter depends on the type of duplex that other network
devices, such as switches, support.
E
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) Files Simple text files that are used by network configuration tools such as RSNetWorx
for EtherNet to describe products so that you can easily commission them on a
network. EDS files describe a product device type and revision. EDS files for
many Allen-Bradley products can be found at http://www.ab.com/networks/
eds.
EtherNet/IP Network EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol) is an open producer-consumer
communication network based on the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3), TCP/IP,
UDP/IP, and CIP. Designed for industrial communication, both I/O and
explicit messages can be transmitted over the network. Each device is assigned a
unique IP address and transmits data on the network. The number of devices that
an EtherNet/IP network can support depends on the class of IP address. For
example, a network with a Class C IP address can have 254 nodes.
General information about EtherNet/IP network and the EtherNet/IP network
specification are maintained by the Open DeviceNet Vendor’s Association
(ODVA). ODVA is online at http://www.odva.org
Explicit Messaging Explicit Messages are used to transfer data that does not require continuous
updates. They are typically used to configure, monitor, and diagnose devices over
the network.
.
G
Gateway A device on a network that connects an individual network to a system of
networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network,
a gateway transfers the data between the two networks. You need to configure the
address for the gateway device in the adapter if you want the adapter to
communicate with devices that are not on its network.
H
Hardware Address Each Ethernet device has a unique hardware address (sometimes called a MAC
address) that is 48 bits. The address appears as six digits separated by colons (for
example, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). Each digit has a value between 0 and 255 (0x00 and
0xFF). This address is assigned in the hardware and cannot be changed. It is
required to identify the device if you are using a BOOTP utility.
64 Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-UM006A-EN-P - July 2013
Glossary
I
I/O Data I/O data, sometimes called implicit messages or input/output, is time-critical
data such as a Logic Command and Reference. The terms input and output are
defined from the controller’s point of view. Output is produced by the controller
and consumed by the adapter. Input is produced by the adapter and consumed by
the controller.
IP Addresses A unique IP address identifies each node on an EtherNet/IP network. An IP
address consists of 32 bits that are divided into four segments of one byte each. It
appears as four decimal integers separated by periods (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Each
‘xxx’ can have a decimal value from 0...255. For example, an IP address could be
192.168.0.1.
An IP address has two parts: a network ID and a host ID. The class of network
determines the format of the address.
01715 2331
Class A 0 Network ID Host ID
01715 2331
Class B 1 0 Network ID Host ID
012 7 15 23 31
Class C 1 1 0 Network ID Host ID
The number of devices on your EtherNet/IP network varies depending on the
number of bytes that are used for the network address. In many cases you are
given a network with a Class C address, in which the first three bytes contain the
network address (subnet mask = 255.255.255.0). This leaves 8 bits or 256
addresses on your network. Because two addresses are reserved for special uses (0
is an address for the network usually used by the router, and 255 is an address for
broadcast messages to all network devices), you have 254 addresses to use on a
Class C address block.
To be sure that each device on the Internet has a unique address, contact your
network administrator or Internet Service Provider for unique fixed IP addresses.
You can then set the unique IP address for the adapter by using a BOOTP server
or by manually configuring parameters in the adapter. The adapter reads the
values of these parameters only at powerup.
M
Master-Slave Hierarchy An adapter configured for a master-slave hierarchy exchanges data with the
master device. Usually, a network has one scanner that is the master device, and
all other devices (for example, E3 Plus overloads connected to EtherNet/IP
network adapters) are slave devices.
On a network with multiple scanners (called a multimaster hierarchy), each slave
device must have a scanner specified as a master.
Rockwell Automation Publication 2100-UM006A-EN-P - July 2013 65
Glossary
N
Nonvolatile Storage (NVS) NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the adapter and E3
Plus module store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not
lost when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called EEPROM.
P
Ping A message that is sent by one end device to its peripheral devices. They use the
ping to gather data about the product, including whether it can receive messages
and whether they can log in for control. On an EtherNet/IP network, a ping can
be used to determine if a node exists.
R
RSLogix 5, RSLogix 500, and
RSLogix 5000 Software
S
Scanner A scanner is a separate module (of a multi-module controller) or a built-in
Status Indicators Status indicators are LEDs that are used to report the status of the adapter,
Subnet Mask An extension to the IP addressing scheme that lets you use a single network ID
RSLogix software is a tool for configuring and monitoring controllers to
communicate with connected devices. It is a 32-bit application that runs on
various Windows operating systems. Information about RSLogix software can be
found at http://www.software.rockwell.com/rslogix

adapters connected to a network. See also Controller.
network, and end device. They are on the front face of the adapter.
for multiple physical networks. A bit mask identifies the part of the address that
specifies the network and the part of the address that specifies the unique node
on the network. A ‘1’ in the subnet mask indicates the bit is used to specify the
network. A ‘0’ in the subnet mask indicates that the bit is used to specify the
node.
For example, a subnet mask on a network can appear as follows: 11111111
11111111 11111111 11000000 (255.255.255.192). This mask indicates that 26
bits are used to identify the network and 6 bits are used to identify devices on
each network. Instead of a single physical Class C network with 254 devices, this
subnet mask divides it into four networks with up to 62 devices each.
.
Switches Network devices that provide virtual connections that help to control collisions
and reduce traffic on the network. They are able to reduce network congestion by
transmitting packets to an individual port only if they are destined for the
connected device. In a control application, in which real time data access is
critical, network switches can be required in place of hubs.

Glossary
T
Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP)
EtherNet/IP network uses this protocol to transfer Explicit Messaging packets by
using IP. TCP guarantees delivery of data through the use of retries.
U
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) EtherNet/IP network uses this protocol to transfer I/O packets by using IP. UDP
provides a simple, but fast capability to send I/O messaging packets between
devices. This protocol ensures that adapters transmit the most recent data
because it does not use acknowledgements or retries.
Upda te The process of updating firmware in a device. The adapter can be updated by
using various Allen-Bradley software tools. Refer to Update the Adapter
page 24 for more information.
