Greetings, When setting up a Redundant ControlLogix L81E system with an EN2TR module on a Device Level Ring (DLR), is it necessary to assign an IP address to the controller as well?
In the event of redundancy, it is likely that the system will disable the L81 Ethernet Port, rendering it unavailable. Therefore, I do not believe it will be functional.
Thank you for your support.
Absolutely, you need to assign a unique IP address to each controller in a redundant ControlLogix L81E system, including any EN2TR module on a DLR. This allows for proper routing and communication within the system. Without a unique IP for each controller, you could experience conflicts or failures in communication, resulting in potential system errors or downtime. It's definitely something you don't want to overlook in setting up a system with these components.
Absolutely, you need to assign an IP address to the L81E controller in a Redundant ControlLogix system with an EN2TR module. The IP address is essential to allow communication between the controller and other devices on the network. By assigning a unique IP address, it creates an identifier for the controller that helps in troubleshooting any network issues you might face down the line.
Absolutely, it's necessary to assign an IP address to the ControlLogix L81E controller. Even though it's on a DLR, each device needs its unique identifier, which the IP address fulfills, to communicate effectively. It also helps with diagnostic purposes and eases the task of troubleshooting. It's like a unique name tag at a large conference; without it, chaos ensues!
Absolutely, you definitely need to assign an IP address to the ControlLogix L81E even when using it in a DLR setup. While the DLR provides redundancy and improves network reliability, each device on the network, including your controllers, still needs an IP address for communication and identification purposes. Just make sure the IP is unique and doesn’t conflict with any other devices on the ring!

Answer: 1. Do I need to assign an IP address to the ControlLogix L81E controller in a Redundant system with EN2TR module on Device Level Ring (DLR)? - No, it is not necessary to assign an IP address to the controller in this setup. The controller communicates over the DLR network and does not require an individual IP address.
Answer: - The ControlLogix L81E system with the EN2TR module participates in the DLR network to provide redundancy and fault tolerance without needing individual IP addresses for the controllers.
Answer: - By setting up redundancy with the EN2TR module on a DLR network, you ensure continuous operation in case of network failures or device malfunctions, improving system reliability and uptime.
