Exam 29: Configuring a Usb Driver for a 1756-En2t Ethernet Communications Module

If you have a personal computer with no standard serial port but with USB ports, and a ControlLogix controller with a traditional 9-pin D-shell serial port, direct serial communication between the personal computer and the ControlLogix controller will be very easy.

If the USB driver is configured in conjunction with the USB port configuration of the personal computer, the driver cannot be reconfigured in ____________________.

In addition to using the three switches on top of the 1756-EN2T module to configure an IP address, what are two other methods by which the module's IP address can be configured?

The three switches on top of the 1756-EN2T module can be modified before or after installing the module in a chassis.

When a new device is connected to a personal computer, the Found New Hardware Wizard can assist with installing driver software automatically.

To download an RSLogix project to a ControlLogix controller, the project must be saved and closed.

When a ControlLogix module with an integrated USB port is being used for the first time with a particular computer, the required USB drivers must be configured.

With the RSLinx driver configured, a RSLogix 5000 project can be downloaded from the personal computer to the ControlLogix controller by way of the 1756-EN2T's USB port.

List three points to keep in mind for using USB communications between a personal computer and a ControlLogix Communications Module.

Typically, the personal computer USB driver configuration only has to be completed once.

List two examples of features supported by newer modular ControlLogix Ethernet/IP communications modules.

If the switches of the 1756-EN2T are set for a specific address, this IP address can be changed in the module's configuration window in RSLinx.
