    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.
