My company perchased a "MicroLogix 1400" to verify the connection with our
"EtherNet/IP to Modbus gateway", which is use as an EtherNet/IP adapter while
The MicroLogix 1400 is an EtherNet/IP scanner.
Here are my problems:
1 I have notice a comment on website of ML1400 says “allows controllers to exchange data with other controllers through messaging; does not support scanning of I/O on Ethernet adapters”.
Does it means MicroLogix 1400 cannot act as an EtherNet/IP scanner and work with an EtherNet/IP device which acts as an EtherNet/IP adapter?
2 I tried to setup the MSG block on RSLogix 500 to communicate with our module and always get "Invalid data type" error. No matter what data type I select. And of course I can't connect with our module.
