IC698CRE040 IC698CRE020 Ethernet port-enabled CPU

The IC698CRE040 and IC698CRE020 look like models of Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix controllers or related modules. ControlLogix is a programmable Automation controller (PAC) platform from Rockwell Automation that is used for industrial automation and control tasks.

In ControlLogix systems, CPU modules (such as the IC698CRE040 and IC698CRE020) usually contain Ethernet ports. These ports are used for communication with programming software such as the RSLogix 5000, remote access, monitoring and data acquisition (SCADA), and communication with other network devices.

To enable the Ethernet port on the ControlLogix CPU, you typically need to do the following:

Hardware configuration: Ensure that CPU modules are properly mounted on the rack and that all necessary connections, such as power and Ethernet cables, are properly connected.

Software configuration: Use Allen-Bradley programming software such as RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 to configure the CPU. In the software, you can specify the IP address, subnet mask, and other network Settings for the Ethernet port.

Network Settings: Depending on your network architecture, configure the IP address of the CPU Ethernet port to ensure that it is compatible with your network and can communicate with other devices.

Security Settings: Based on your network security requirements, configure any necessary security Settings, such as access control lists (ACLs), firewall rules, or encryption Settings.

Software download: Download the configured program to the ControlLogix CPU. This is usually done via an Ethernet connection.

Test: Once the configuration is complete, test the Ethernet connection to make sure it works properly. You can test the connection using the ping command, a web browser, or other diagnostic tools.
