New PLC's that support SOKCETS and best way to work with...

I have been looking for a nice AOI that would have all the setup paramteres, either to be server or client, socket port.
Then have basic data being sent back and forth.

Does anyone have Sockets as AOI, that they wouldnt mind sharing?

Thanks,
Pete

I would look at the Do-more PLC.

Here is a link to communicate using VB6 to get information in/out using winsock. The protocol used is Modbus TCP.

I have also found this site for Rockwell. (AB)

I hope this is what you are looking for.

All B&R, Beckhoff, and Elau PLCs do this with a simple library.

Methinks OP is talking about AB PLC's.
Where the newer ones support socket communication.
Just as I was (very) unpleasantly surprised at the amount of configuration that needs to be done to achieve socket comms, OP is asking if someone has done the work in creating an AOI and doesn't mind sharing it.

Sadly, no. If I had, it would've made the current job a lot easier.
