G9SP Ethernet IP Communication to
Rockwell CompactLogix PLC’s
Rev1.0
Micheal Paradiso
This document will walk you through a step by step setup
for communication from a G9SP to a Allen Bradley
CompactLogix PLC using Ethernet IP communications .
Example code for this presentation has two files associated
with it, one file can be opened using Omron’s Network
Configurator for Safety Devices and other with Allen
Bradley RSLogix 5000 software.

Overview of G9SP Ethernet IP
G9SP Ethernet IP Adapter Setup
For the setting to take affect, reboot
the G9SP safety controller after
changing the IP address through the
web page interface
Note: The IP address for the CM-EIP-
1 cannot be configured from within the
G9SP Configurator. The configuration
section is only for Ethernet for the
FINS Ethernet Adapter CP1W-CIG41

Setting up EIP Connection To Rockwell
Setting up the Allen Bradley PLC
• Connect the G9SP , Allen Bradley PLC and
PC to the Ethernet IP switch.
• Open or create a new project file for the
CompactLogix in RSLogix 5000.
• Configure the IP address of the CompactLogix to
the same sub net as the PC and the G9SP
192.168.250.XXX,
• Right click on the Ethernet module in the
CompactLogix, and click “New Module”.
• In the Communications group, select Ethernet-
Module Generic Ethernet Module, and click OK.
AB Software Configuration
• Type in the Name you would like to use in the
Name field.
• In the Comm Formant field select “Data-INT”.
• Configure the IP address to the IP address of
the G9SP for the Address/Host name.
• In the Connection Parameters put 100 for the
Input “Assembly Instance” and the size to 34
because the AB PLC uses 16 bit format, the data
size will be 34 instead of 68 that is shown for the
Omron PLC’s.
• In the Output “Assembly Instance” put 101 the
data size to 3
• The Configuration data type is not used by the
Omron controllers, this field should always have
“255” and “0”
• Select OK once all the data has been entered
into the fields.
AB Software Configuration
• Configure the RPI for 100ms and click OK.
• The tags will be created automatically for the
G9SP
• Download the project to the CompactLogix
processor
• This is all that is needed for this configuration.
