Configure Linear/DLR Mode in the Logix Designer Application

The
EtherNet/IP™
 mode is Dual-IP by default. You must change the
EtherNet/IP™
 mode to Linear/DLR with the
Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
 application. For information on how to change the controller
EtherNet/IP™
 mode, see Change the EtherNet/IP Mode in the Logix Designer Application.
IMPORTANT: With
ControlLogix®
 5590 controllers, the Ethernet ports on the controller itself are labeled 1 and 2. In programming and communication software, the ports are described as A1 and A2.
After you change the
EtherNet/IP™
 mode to Linear/DLR mode, the new mode choice is displayed on the General tab in the Controller Properties dialog box.
This image shows where the Linear/DLR EtherNet/IP mode is shown on the controller properties dialog box in Logix Designer.
You set the IP address and subnet mask on the Internet Protocol tab.
TIP:
When you set the IP address and subnet mask, we recommend that you use a USB connection from the workstation to the controller.
  1. Confirm that the project is online.
  2. Confirm that the controller is in one of the following modes.
    • Program
    • Remote Program
    • Remote Run
    You cannot change the IP address or subnet mask if the controller is in Run mode.
  3. From the Port dropdown menu on the Internet Protocol tab, choose A1/A2.
  4. Choose Manually configure IP settings.
  5. Assign the IP address and network mask values.
  6. Click Apply.
