Module Description The 1747-AENTR Adapter enables CompactLogix™ and ControlLogix®

processors to control SLC™ I/O modules. It is primarily designed to enable
migration of existing SLC controlled systems to Logix-based systems.

The adapter mainly acts as a gateway between the SLC backplane and
EtherNet/IP and typically replaces an SLC controller in the 1746 rack. On
remote SLC racks, it replaces the 1747-ASB module or the ControlNet® adapters
1747-ACN15 and 1747-ACNR15.

Control of the backplane I/O is accomplished with a CompactLogix or

ControlLogix controller communicating through an EtherNet/IP router in the
Logix backplane, across EtherNet/IP, and into the 1747-AENTR gateway.

As a gateway between the SLC backplane and EtherNet/IP, the 1747-AENTR

module is a CIP™ server (for both Explicit Messaging and I/O) on the Ethernet
port, and an SLC host on the 1746 backplane.

Connections can be made to support 1746 and 1747 analog, digital, and
specialty I/O modules installed in the backplane.

IMPORTANT Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application (previously RSLogix 5000®)

revision 21 and later, and firmware revision 2.001 and later supports:
• multiple chassis, with a maximum number of three chassis;
• a maximum of 30 SLC I/O modules;
• a maximum of 96 Class 1 connections;
• up to 8 Class 3 connections.

For the complete list of supported I/O modules, see the table, List of I/O
Modules Supported by the 1747-AENTR Adapter on page 27.

Use of the Common The adapter uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), the application layer
Industrial Protocol (CIP) protocol specified for EtherNet/IP, the Ethernet Industrial Protocol. It is a
message-based protocol that implements a relative path to send a message
from the producing device in a system to the consuming devices.

The producing device contains the path information that steers the message
along the proper route to reach its consumers. Since the producing device
holds this information, other devices along the path simply pass this
information; they do not store it.
This has the following significant benefits:
• You do not need to configure routing tables in the bridging modules,
which greatly simplifies maintenance and module replacement.
• You maintain full control over the route taken by each message, which
enables you to select alternative paths for the same end device.

Understand the Producer/ The CIP producer and consumer networking model replaces the old source
Consumer Model and destination (master and slave) model. The producer and consumer model
reduces network traffic and increases speed of transmission. In traditional I/O
systems, controllers poll input modules to obtain their input status. In the CIP
system, input modules are not polled by a controller. Instead, they produce
(multicast or unicast) their data periodically or at a cyclic rate.

Unicast is the default for version 20 with multicast as a selectable option. The
frequency of update depends upon the options chosen during configuration
and where on the network the input module resides. The input module,
therefore, is a producer of input data, and the controller is a consumer of the
data.

The controller also produces data for other controllers to consume. The
produced and consumed data is accessible by multiple controllers and other
devices over the EtherNet/IP network. This data exchange conforms to the
producer and consumer model.

Support of Direct The EtherNet/IP adapter only supports direct connections. A direct connection
Connections is a real-time data transfer link between a Logix controller and a 1746/1747 I/O
module through the 1747-AENTR adapter. Direct I/O connections occur at a
cyclic rate specified by the RPI during configuration.

Install Your Adapter

This chapter describes how to install the 1747-AENTR adapter and connect it to
the EtherNet/IP network.

The following table lists where to find specific information.

Topic Page
Set the Network Address Switches 15
Determine Power Requirements 18
Install the Adapter Module in the Chassis 18
Connect Your Adapter to the Ethernet/IP Network through RJ-45 Connection 19
Chapter Summary 20

Set the Network Address The network address switches are set to 999 and DHCP enabled, by default.
Switches You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address in the following ways:
• Use the network address switches on the module.
• Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.
• Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.

The adapter reads the network address switches first to determine if the
switches are set to a valid number. You set the node address by using the
network address switches. Valid settings range from 001…254.

When the switches are set to a valid number, the adapter’s IP address is
192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches).

The adapter’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to
0.0.0.0. The adapter does not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain
Name System when using the network address switch settings.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater
than 254 excluding 888), the adapter checks to see if DHCP is enabled. Setting
the switches to 888 restores default factory settings.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1747-UM076E-EN-E - August 2021 15

Chapter 2 Install Your Adapter

IMPORTANT If you set the value of the adapter switch to 888 and then power cycle
the module, the following occurs:
• The DHCP Enabled function is enabled (set to True).
• The Ethernet link is negotiated automatically. The Auto Negotiate
function is set to True.
• The web server is enabled. The Disabled Web Server function is
disabled.
• The Ethernet ports are disabled. Both ports are re-enabled once the
switches are returned to their previous value and power is cycled.

DHCP Enabled and Not Enabled

DHCP Enabled and Not Enabled
If DHCP is Then the Adapter
Asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other Transport Control
Protocol (TCP) parameters.
The 1747-AENTR factory default is DHCP enabled. When you apply power, the module sends a
Enabled message containing its hardware address to any DHCP server on the network. The server(s)
replies by sending a message with an appropriate IP address for the adapter. The adapter
responds by acknowledging to a server that it will use the offered IP address.
Uses the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile
memory.
When the IP address assigned to the module, as indicated in the four-character dot-matrix
Not enabled status display, is changed through the DHCP configuration utility, the DHCP is disabled.
When power is cycled to the device, it uses the new configuration and implements the new IP
address.

See the chapter, Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network on
page 21, for information on how to use your BootP/DHCP utility to configure
your adapter for the network.

Enable or Disable the Web Server

With firmware revision 2.003 or later, the web server feature is disabled by
default. Use the network address switches to enable or disable the web server
for your application.
Value Description
Enables the web server.
000 Cycle power to the adapter for the setting to take effect. When you apply power, the module LED
flashes red and the four-character status display scrolls the message “Web Server Enabled”.
Disables the web server.
901 Cycle power to the adapter for the setting to take effect. When you apply power, the module LED
flashes red and the four-character status display scrolls the message “Web Server Disabled”.

IMPORTANT If you set the value of the switch to 901 and then cycle power to the
adapter, the following occurs:
• The web server is disabled.
• If the product supports SNMP, the SNMP server is also disabled.
This value is a transitional setting, the adapter does not operate while
the switch remains at this value. After the message “Web Server
Disabled” displays, change the value of the switch based on your IP
address mode and cycle power to the adapter.

The following section describes how to enable or disable the web server based
on the IP address mode that is used.

 Chapter 3

Configure the Adapter for Your

EtherNet/IP Network

Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure it

with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter
describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing
them. Here are ways you can do this:
• Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or later,
that ships with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software.
- You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address
you must change.
• Use a third party DHCP server.
• Use the Network Address rotary switches.
• Have your network administrator configure the adapter via the network
DHCP server.

See the table for a list of where to find information in this chapter.
Topic Page
Configuration Requirements 21
Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP Utility 24
Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Adapter 26

Configuration Before you can use your adapter, you must configure its IP address, its subnet
Requirements mask, and, optionally, a gateway address. You can use the
Rockwell Automation BootP utility, version 2.3 or later, to perform the
configuration. You can also use a DHCP server or the network address
switches to configure these parameters.

If you need to reset the adapter to factory defaults, see Work with the
Configuration Pages on page 68.

IP Address
The IP address identifies each node on the IP network, or system of connected
networks. Each TCP/IP node on a network, including the adapter, must have a
unique IP address.

The IP address is 32 bits long and has a Network ID part and Host ID part.
Networks are classified A, B, C, or other. The class of the network determines
how an IP address is formatted.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1747-UM076E-EN-E - August 2021 21

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

0 7 8 31
Class A 0 Network ID Host ID
0 15 16 31
Class B 10 Network ID Host ID

0 23 24 31
Class C 110 Network ID Host ID

You can distinguish the class of the IP address from the first integer in its
dotted-decimal IP address as follows:
Range of first
Range of first integer Class Class
integer
0 1…27 A 192…223 C
128…191 B 224… 255 Other

Each node on the same physical network must have an IP address of the same
class and must have the same network ID. Each node on the same network
must have a different Host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.
IP addresses are written as four decimal integers (0…255) separated by periods
where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address.

EXAMPLE For example, the 32-bit IP address:

10000000 00000001 00000000 00000001 is written as 128.1.0.1

Gateway Address
This section applies to multi-network systems. If you have a single network
system, refer to the next section.

The Gateway Address is the default address of a network. It provides a single

domain name and point of entry to the site. Gateways connect individual
physical networks into 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. The figure shows
gateway G connecting Network 1 with Network 2.

128.1.0.1

Network 1 128.1.0.2

B C

128.2.0.1 128.2.0.2 128.2.0.3

Network 2

When host B with IP address 128.2.0.1 communicates with host C, it knows

from C’s IP address that C is on the same network. In an Ethernet
environment, B can then resolve C’s IP address into a hardware address (MAC
address) and communicate with C directly.

When host B communicates with host A, it knows from A’s IP address that A is
on another network (the network IDs are different). In order to send data to A,

22 Rockwell Automation Publication 1747-UM076E-EN-E - August 2021

 Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

B must use the IP address of the gateway connecting the two networks. In this
example, the gateway’s IP address on Network 2 is 128.2.0.3.

The gateway has two IP addresses (128.1.0.2 and 128.2.0.3). The first must be
used by hosts on Network 1 and the second must be used by hosts on Network
2. To be usable, a gateway of a host must be addressed using a network ID
matching its own.

Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or
subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to
turn part of the Host ID address field into a field for subnets.

EXAMPLE Take Network 2 (a Class B network) in the previous example and add
another physical network. Selecting the following subnet mask would
add two additional network ID bits, allowing for four physical networks:
11111111 11111111 11000000 00000000 = 255.255.192.0
These two bits of the Host ID are
used to extend the netdwork ID.

Two bits of the Class B host ID are used to extend the network ID. Each unique
combination of bits in the part of the Host ID where subnet mask bits are 1
specifies a different physical network.

The new configuration is:

128.1.0.1
Network 1 128.1.0.2
G

B C
128.2.64.3

128.2.64.1 128.2.64.2
Network 2.1

G2
D E
128.2.128.3

128.2.128.1 128.2.128.2
Network 2.2

A second network with Hosts D and E was added. Gateway G2 connects

Network 2.1 with Network 2.2.

Hosts D and E will use Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on

Network 2.2.

Hosts B and C will use Gateway G to communicate with hosts not on

Network 2.1.

When B is communicating with D, G (the configured Gateway for B) will route

the data from B to D through G2.

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

Use the The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that
Rockwell Automation incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly
graphical interface. It is located in the Utility directory on the RSLogix 5000
BootP/DHCP Utility software installation CD. The adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory
default and the network address switches set to an invalid value) to use the
utility.

To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps:
1. Run the BootP software.
In the BOOTP Request History panel you see the hardware addresses of
devices issuing BootP requests.

2. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure.

The New Entry dialog appears with the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC).

3. Enter the IP Address you want to assign to the device and click OK. The
device is added to the Relation List, displaying the Ethernet Address

(MAC) and corresponding IP Address, Hostname, and Description (if

applicable).

When the address displays in the IP Address column in the Request

History section, the IP address assignment has been made.
4. To make this configuration static in the device, highlight the device in
the Relation List panel, and click the Disable BOOTP/DHCP button.
When power is cycled to the device, it uses the configuration saved in
non-volatile memory and will not issue a DHCP request.
5. To enable DHCP for a device with DHCP disabled, highlight the device in
the Relation List, and click the Enable DHCP button.
You must have an entry for the device in the Relation List panel to re-
enable DHCP.

Save the Relation List

You can save the Relation List for later use. To save the Relation List, perform
the following steps:
1. Select Save As... from the File menu.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1747-UM076E-EN-E - August 2021 25

Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

The Save As dialog appears.

2. Select the folder where you want to save the Relation List.
3. Enter a File name for the Relation List, for example, control system
configuration, and click Save.
You can leave the Save as type at the default setting: Bootp Config Files
(*.bpc).
You now have the option to open the file containing the Relation List at a
later session.

Use DHCP Software to DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns
Configure Your Adapter IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The

main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while
DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations
to newly attached devices.

Be cautious about using DHCP software to configure your adapter. A DHCP

server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP address.
When 50% of the leased time has expired, the adapter attempts to renew its IP
address with the DHCP server.
The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP address,
which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the ControlLogix
controller.

See Configure the Adapter with Fixed IP Address on page 45 to configure the
adapter with a fixed IP address.

ATTENTION: To avoid unintended control or loss of control, the I/O adapter

must be assigned a fixed IP address. A dynamically provided IP address
should be used only at initial configuration. If a DHCP server is used, it must
be configured to assign the same IP address to your adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine motion
or loss of process control.

Chapter Summary This chapter described the requirements and procedures for configuring the
IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address.

 Chapter 4 Plan to Use Your EtherNet/IP Adapter

Overview of Adapter As a gateway between the SLC backplane and EtherNet/IP, the 1747-AENTR
Operation module serves as a CIP server (for both Explicit Messaging and I/O) on the
Ethernet port, and an SLC host on the 1746 backplane. Connections can be
made to supported I/O modules installed in the backplane. See List of I/O
Modules Supported by the 1747-AENTR Adapter on page 27.

The module employs the Rockwell Automation Embedded Switch Toolkit. This
implementation is an IEEE 802.3 standard compliant, Layer 2 switch that is
compatible with the IEEE 802.1 ID standard. It has three ports: two are
external ports that function as physical ports of the product and one is an
internal port that connects to the host CPU. Each of the three ports has an
IEEE 802.3 compliant MAC and the ports are interconnected with each other
through full wire speed, non-blocking switching logic. The Embedded Switch
Toolkit provides support for the EtherNet/IP DLR protocol.

The adapter only supports direct connection to individual modules. Up to 96

connections per adapter are possible with a maximum of 240 words supported
per connection on firmware revision 2.001 and Logix Designer application
revision 21. The input data attributes correspond directly to the read area of
the I/O module’s data table image. The output attributes correspond directly to
the write area of the I/O module’s data table image.

IMPORTANT On firmware revision 1.001 and RSLogix 5000 revision 20, the adapter
only supports up to 32 connections per adapter, with a maximum of 240
words supported per connection.

Communication between the 1747-AENTR module and the I/O modules is

polled, similar to an SLC controller scan cycle. The adapter maintains a list of
the module ID for each slot, and handles electronic key validation during
connection requests, while processing ForwardOpen requests to the
Connection Manager.

Software Requirements
RSLogix 5000 revision 20 or greater and RSLinx version 2.59 or greater are
required to configure the 1747-AENTR adapter. For more information on how
to configure your device, see Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection
through the RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer Application on page 33.

IMPORTANT Logix Designer application (previously RSLogix 5000) revision 21 and

later supports direct connections to more than 13 slots.

Module Connections
The 1747-AENTR adapter supports module connections.

Module connection is performed in a deterministic and repeatable manner.

This connection allows a memory and Ethernet bandwidth efficient way to
connect to individual modules.

Each connection can be configured with the following connection types:

1. Exclusive Owner – specifies an independent connection where a single
device controls the output states in the target device. If you have an
existing Exclusive Owner connection to a target device, you cannot
specify another Exclusive Owner or Redundant connection to that same
target device.
The 1747-AENTR adapter supports one Exclusive Owner connection per
SLC module.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1747-UM076E-EN-E - August 2021 29

Chapter 4 Plan to Use Your EtherNet/IP Adapter

2. Input Only – specifies an independent connection where a device

receives inputs from the target device and sends configuration data to
the target device. An Input Only connection does not send outputs; it
only receives inputs. You can specify multiple Input Only connections to
the target device from different originators.
The 1747-AENTR adapter supports up to five Input Only connections per
SLC module.
3. Listen Only – specifies a dependent connection where a device receives
inputs from the target device, but does not send configuration data with
the target device. A Listen Only connection only functions properly when
another non-Listen Only connection exists to the same target device. A
Listen Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives inputs.
You can specify multiple Listen Only connections to the target device
from different originators.
The 1747-AENTR adapter supports up to five Listen Only connections per
SLC module.

IMPORTANT When a Listen Only connection is made, there must be an

existing Exclusive Owner or Input Only connection, the
connection RPIs must match exactly, the input chunk
configuration (if any) must match exactly, and all connections to
the same module must be Multicast.
Note that changing a module connection from Input Only to
Listen Only will result to the following:
• reset the RPI to 20 ms
• reset the input chunk configuration (if any) to the default
• set the Input Type to Unicast
All Listen Only connections are terminated when all associated independent
connections are terminated.

Module Keying
Missing or misplaced modules are detected if the module in question is
configured with RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer application as an individual
module connection and “compatible module” is selected for electronic keying.
If a module connection is attempted to a module which is a missing or
misplaced module, the connection will fail.

Output Operation During Fault and Idle Modes

RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer application allows configuration to
characterize each module connection activity during certain operational
states.

During idle mode and fault modes, outputs are configured for one of the
following operation states:
Output Action
Reset outputs to off
Hold last state
Write Safe State data to outputs

1746-IO8 Module Definition shown

Module Definition Fields

Field Description
Revision Specifies the major and minor module revision.
The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected module, as shown in
the RSLogix 5000 I/O Configuration tree, to the physical module before I/O communication
begins. You can use electronic keying to help prevent communication to a module that
does not match the type and revision expected.
For each module in the I/O Configuration tree, the user-selected keying option determines
if, and how, an electronic keying check is performed.
Typically, two keying options are available:
• Compatible Module
• Disable Keying

Electronic Keying

Compatible Module indicates that the module determines whether to accept or reject
communication. Compatible Keying is the default setting. It allows the physical module to
accept the key of the module configured in the software, provided that the configured
module is one the physical module is capable of emulating. The exact level of emulation
required is product and revision specific.
Disable Keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when attempting to
communicate with a module. Other attributes, such as data size and format, are
considered and must be acceptable before I/O communication is established. With
Disabled Keying, I/O communication may occur with a module other than the type specified
in the I/O configuration tree with unpredictable results. We generally do not recommend
using Disabled Keying.
Defines the type of connection employed by the module. The following options are
available for non-specialty I/O modules:
• Exclusive Owner (default)
• Listen Only
