First of all you have to set up the general ethernet settings for the Ethernet/IP port, in maintenance mode. Make sure the IP is in the same subnet as your PLC, same gateway, all of that. Manual 178942-1CD
Afterwards you have to set the E/IP settings - data size, whether it's adapter or scanner - that's the manual I attached 178651-1CD. Everything is explained there, starting from page 20.
When you have set up all of that, you have to restart and go into maintenace mode again, and extract the E/IP .eds file. This is in the manual too. This is the file your PLC is going to ask for to establish the connection. You will have to import it into your project, but you will also need to create in your PLC some kind of struct of data to hold all the bytes you are going to read/write. You will need to asign the E/IP tags to this data.
From the PLC you can monitor the Ethernet/IP connection in real time; it is going to tell you exactly what's working and what's not. You can just go step by step and debug easily, whether your connection is OK or not and whether you have set up your tags correctly or not.
I recommend you to fill the form on this site and download anything you need. For this you only need these two manuals but all of them are inside.
