Bolt register access

Anybus Support Anybus Wireless
#1

Hello,

I am applying four Bolt nodes in an industrial application. One is connected to the process main PLC, an Allen Bradley ControlLogix platform. The other three are connected to portable equipment that will be used occasionally to monitor status of the portable equipment. Is there a register that I can access to determine when one or more of the remote nodes is powered up and connected to the main node?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I would assume that I would need to use a Message block (MSG) to retrieve a specific instance of a register.

I am on site at the customer today and would appreciate a prompt response. Please call my cell # below if you wish to discuss.

Thanks and best regards,

Wouldn’t a ping work for this?

No, need to be able to interrogate status from and Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC.

You can take a look at this list of AT commands to determine if any will work for what you are trying to do. Maybe register 1013 on page 83?
