Videojet Excel 1610 & ControlLogix Ethernet

Hello,

We are having issues with reading & writing to a Videojet Excel 1610 with serial communications and considering converting the communications to ethernet. The documentation I have is considerably lacking. Does anyone have experience communicating to the Videojets via ethernet from a ControlLogix using their ESI protocol? Any advice, example programs, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I am also investigating setting up Control Logix to Video Jet communication via Ethernet. Have you been able to do this?

Did anyone succeed in connecting Videojet 1610 with Ethernet? Or even serial? How it works?
