How to configure FactoryTalk® Optix™ to communicate with a Logix controller
A quick demonstration of how to configure communications to a Logix controller using FactoryTalk® Optix Studio™. If using a CPU with an embedded Ethernet port, such as the 5370 and 5380 CompactLogix™ CPUs, or the 5580 ControlLogix® CPU, the route will simply be the IP address. If using an Ethernet module, such as the 1756-EN2T to bridge to the CPU, the route needs to be IP_Address\Backplace\CPU_chassis_slot_number (i.e. 10.10.1.11\Backplane\0). The RA EtherNet/IP Driver supports Logix Controller families with firmware versions 32.00 and later. The 1756-ENET, 1756-ENBT, and 1756-EWEB modules are not supported with the FactoryTalk® Optix™ RA EtherNet/IP driver.
