Hello, we want to write a program in C/C++ to communicate with AB CompactLogix PLC. It will be run in Linux. The basic task of this program is to ask for and receive tag values so we can save them to a database. I guess by sending a string of bytes to PLC, it will reply back with some useful info. We found an AB document which tells the TCP/IP Encapsulation Packet Structure. However, there's a section of bytes (called Transport-PDU) that isn't explained in the document.
I don't know if this is the right direction to tackle the project. Please share your experience or opinions. Thanks a lot!
