Appendix C: Graco Gateway to ControlLogix via Ethernet IP

Appendix C: Graco Gateway to ControlLogix via
Ethernet IP
Overview
This appendix describes the configuration steps neces-
sary to establish a communication path between the
Graco Gateway and a ControlLogix unit. You will need
either a 1756-ENET/B or a 1756-ENBT/A together with
a Logix5550 controller. It may be possible to upgrade a
1756-ENET/A to the required 1756-ENET/B by flashing
the firmware; you should check the hardware version
with your vendor before hand to ensure its suitability.
You will also need Rockwell Software’s RSLinx and
RSLogix 5000 software configuration utilities.
Introduction
In the following example, the ControlLogix will establish
a Class1 connection and I/O data will be exchanged
between the ControlLogix and the Graco Gateway termi-
nal. The network parameters used in this example will
almost certainly not apply to your application. Be sure to
consult your network administrator when selecting
appropriate values.
