Connecting the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER to an EtherNet/IP™ network
The following device topology is used in the example:
- Higher-level Allen-Bradley controller ControlLogix® 1756-L71
- , device variant
- MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDD90A double-axis module
- MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDA90A single-axis module
The following figure is a schematic representation of the device topology:

For configuration and startup of the devices, the following tools are used:
- MOVISUITE® for the devices of the MOVI‑C® modular automation system from SEW‑EURODRIVE
- MOVISUITE® contains the IEC Editor tool for programming the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
- Studio 5000 Logix Designer from Rockwell Automation for the PLC
The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER is integrated into the EtherNet/IP™ network in several process steps:
