The module has a standard F connector for connection to the S908 remote I O network AN X should be connected like any other node Ensure that the physical ends of the S908 remote I O network are properly terminated The AN X module does not connect the 908 cable to earth ground If a connection to ground is required use an F connector grounding block January 2008 Ethernet Cabling Software Installation AN X MOD MAS Page 5 AN X has a standard RJ 45 connector for connecting to Ethernet If you are connecting AN X to an existing network through a router or switch use a standard Ethernet cable If you are connecting directly between a computer and AN X use a crossover cable You must uninstall any previous version of the software before you can install a new version Use the Windows Control Panel Add and Remove Programs to remove the old version Insert the CD supplied with the AN X module and run the program setup exe on the CD January 2008 Page 6 AN X MOD MAS Quick Start Step See page 1 Install the AN X Windows software 5 2 Power up the AN X connect it to Ethernet and use 7 AnxInit to assign it an IP address Connect AN X to the Modicon S908 network 4 4 Use the AN X web interface to autoconfigure the 18 Modicon network and ControlLogix configuration 5 Configure the AN X in RSLogix 5000 31 6 Scan I O read inputs and write outputs 7 Use the web interface to create tags for
