Deck 27: Configuring Ethernet-Ip Drivers Using Rs Linx Software

Question 1

What steps can be taken if the word "running" is not listed twice for a configured Ethernet driver in the Configure Drivers window?

Answer 1

If something other than Running is being displayed for an Ethernet driver, the driver was not configured correctly. These are steps that can be taken:
1. Verify compatible IP addresses in both the personal computer and the Ethernet module.
2. If problems continue, delete the RSLinx driver, and shut down RSLinx by going to File and Exit and Shutdown. Reopen RSLinx and try again

Question 2

In the event of a failed attempt to configure a driver for an Ethernet module, what is a simple error that may have occurred?

Answer 2

A failed attempt to configure the driver for an Internet module may result due to incompatible IP addresses or subnet masks. In many cases, the error is a simple typing error when entering the IP address or subnet mask.

Question 3

After a driver has been configured, open the ____________________ window to verify communication has been established with the target device.

Answer 3

RSWho

Question 4

An RSLinx driver can be deleted at any time and reconfigured to resolve problems with the driver.

Question 5

In the Configure Drivers window, the word "running" listed twice for a configured driver verifies communication with the target device.

Question 6

In the Configure Drivers window, the driver that can only be used to configure modules such as 1756-ENBT, EN2T, EN2F, or newer modules is the ____________________ driver.

Question 7

When configuring a 1756-ENBT Ethernet driver using RSLinx, select an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the module and the personal computer.

Question 8

The older ____________________ driver can be used to configure most Ethernet modules; however, it is typically used for the 1756-ENET module.

Question 9

If communication was lost between your computer and the Ethernet communications module after the driver has been successfully configured, an X will display on top of the module's icon.

Question 10

Manually configuring a driver using the Ethernet devices driver can be used to display only the desired Ethernet/IP devices in RSWho.

Question 11

The 1756-ENBT Ethernet driver must be configured prior to configuring the personal computer with which communication is desired.

Question 12

Suppose a yellow question mark and text stating unrecognized device are displayed in the RSWho window. Briefly describe the problem and how it can likely be resolved.

Question 13

If desired, the default driver name provided by RSLinx during configuration can be changed in the RSWho window.

Question 14

One feature of the newer Ethernet/IP driver is that RSLinx browses the local subnet, automatically finds devices with compatible IP addresses, and then finishes configuring the driver for you.

Question 15

When configuring a driver for a ControlLogix Ethernet module, suppose the personal computer IP address is not available as a selection as an Ethernet interface. What are two checks that can be performed?
