Frequently Asked Questions about 1788-EN2DN
Question: What is the 1788-EN2DN used for?
Date Update:23/06/2025
Answer:

The 1788-EN2DN is a linking device that connects EtherNet/IP controllers to DeviceNet networks. It enables:

  • EtherNet/IP-based controllers (like ControlLogix/CompactLogix) to control and monitor DeviceNet device
  • Bridging and routing of I/O and messages between the networks
  • Up to 63 DeviceNet nodes

This is ideal for modernizing systems while preserving legacy DeviceNet infrastructure.

Question: How do I assign an IP address to the 1788-EN2DN?
Date Update:23/06/2025
Answer:

You can set the IP address using several methods:

  • BOOTP/DHCP utility (Rockwell tool)
  • RSLinx: Right-click device → Module Configuration → Set IP
  • Rotary switches: Some versions support last octet configuration via switches (refer to label and manual)
  • Web browser (if enabled): Navigate to http://<current IP address>

Important tips:

  • Default BOOTP mode is often enabled; you may need to disable it after assignment.
  • Always set a static IP for predictable network behavior.
Question: What is the correct software to configure the module?
Date Update:23/06/2025
Answer:

You will need:

  • RSNetWorx for DeviceNet – to configure the DeviceNet scanlist and node parameters
  • Studio 5000 Logix Designer (or RSLogix 5000) – to add the module to your project tree
  • EDS files – required for proper recognition in RSNetWorx and Studio 5000

Optional:

  • RSLinx Classic or Enterprise – for communication path browsing and diagnostics
Question: How is the 1788-EN2DN physically connected?
Date Update:23/06/2025
Answer:

Ethernet Port:

  • Connects to the Logix controller or plant network via standard RJ45
  • Uses standard CAT5e or CAT6 cabling

DeviceNet Port:

  • 5-pin DeviceNet connector
  • Ensure proper termination (121Ω resistors at both ends)
  • Requires DeviceNet 24V isolated power supply
Question: What are the LED indicators and their meanings?
Date Update:23/06/2025
Answer:

Typical LEDs:

  • NET (EtherNet/IP): Green = Normal, Flashing Green = Link active
  • DN NET (DeviceNet): Green = Healthy network, Flashing Green = Active but unscheduled
  • MOD/STS: Module and system status

Use the LED patterns for quick diagnostics—full table is in the manual.
