This appendix describes how to connect an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC to the VS-1 Smart Camera. You should have a working knowledge of TCP/IP, the CIP protocol (Ethernet/IP), and Rockwell RSLogix 5000 software. For more information on the CIP protocol, visit www.odva.org. For more information on installing, configuring, and using RSLogix as well as identifying Rockwell-specific hardware, visit www.rockwell.com.

This information was written against the hardware and software setup listed in Table F-1. The screen shots and examples assume this hardware; therefore, adjust the Rockwell-specific settings in the examples to comply with your specific hardware set.
