Has anyone had any luck connecting to the 820 with the CIP driver using tagnames? I keep getting error messages and the documentation does not mention this family of controllers. Thanks, Tom
I solved my own problem. Set the 820 up as a Micrologic 1100 rather than controllogix, i.e put "1100:" in front of the IP address. eg. 1100:192.168.5.11
OK. I spoke too soon. I got read OK messages in the output window, but the read values were not correct and write did not work. So i'm back to square 1.
I have not attempted this before, and am interested in your results. But I 'm wondering if you may need to use the Modbus driver and set up a Modbus map in the AB Micro. This is typical in the AB Micro when connecting to non-AB HMIs.
In my last project that utilized a Micro820 PLC I used the Modbus TCP driver. Station: <IP ADDRESS>:502:1 IO Address: <TYPE>:<ADDRESS> Where type is described in the manual (eg Floating Point = FP, DINT = 4X, Bool = 0X)
Hi all. I have used Modbus TCP with the AB 820 many times on projects in the past. I was wanting to communicate with the 820 using Ethernet/IP and tagnames like we can do with the Logix processors. I don't like creating the Modbus map if I don't have to. Even lower end HMI products have this driver. I am surprised that Indusoft does not.
