Hi, I'm relatively new to the field, so I'm still learning. I have a C-More and I am trying to use EtherNET/IP to communicate with a CompactLogix PLC. I'm trying to enter a Tag in the C-more Programming software, but I don't know the syntax to use for the PLC address portion. ANy help would be appreciated.

In RsLogix 5000 the first thing that needs to be done is to add your ENBT module to the I/O Configuration Then right click on the ENBT module in the I/O configuration and add new module and then select Generic Ethernet Module. Enter the appropriate IP address and set up the size of words that you will want to use. I believe 250 words is the maximum, for both Input and Output. The default Assembly Instances have worked for me which are Input Instance=1, Output Instance=2 and Configuration Instance=4. After accepting this you will see in your controller tags that Logix 5000 has made the tags for you to use for the HMI. IN C-More basically you have a choice of "I " Input or "O " Output for a data type. These will corespond in direct relasionship with the Input and Output tags created for you. For Example if one of the words Logix 5000 created were something like C_More:O.Data .0 then in the C-More software I would select O data type, 1 would be the address "first word " and bit would be 0
