Could you please advise how to set up communications via a Allan Bradley MicroLogix 1400 PLC (RSLogix 500) and a Siemens s71500 PLC (TIA Portal).
I have the following gateway: AB7670 Anybus X-gateway – EtherNet/IP Scanner - PROFINET-IO Device.
I can see some tutorials of the set up in RSLogix 5000, Do you have an example when using RSLogix 500?
Hi @Darren,
You have the wrong device. You should have a Ethernet/IP Adapter to communicate with a MicroLogix 1400 PLC. Is it possible to configure the 1400 to act as an adapter?
Here is an example which shows how to set up Explicit Messages in RSLogix 500 to communicate with an Anybus Ethernet/IP adapter (this will not work with Anybus Ethernet/IP Scanner). Also, disregard the ABC Config Tool screenshots. You will be using Anybus Configuration Manger - X-gateway to set up the IO sizes in the Anybus.
