Before anyone asks, I don't have access to an AB processor...
The documentation from AB suggests that the only way to configure Point IO with a 1734-AENTR module is through RSLogix yet surely its merely an Ethernet IP device? The EDS files i've found seem only to define the adaptor, not how the IO is mapped (or even how long the packet of data is...). Having looked at the onboard webpage it appears that my IO is jumbled up and in slots 55 to 63 (4 IB4 units, 4 OB4 units and an OE2V, with a couple of PSU blocks in for good measure). How the heck does one sort that lot out?
It won't be talking to anything else AB so I guess rack optimisation is out of the window (plus it appears to be as it has an Analogue unit anyway)?
Anyone done this with any success?
Cheers in advance, guys..
