I had a project possibility fall in my lap yesterday, and I spent some time trying to figure out the mechanics of sending a couple values between different brands of PLCs... CompactLogix and Automation Direct BRX. I've only done that sort of thing once, using a Red Lion HMI to act as a bridge. This would be a direct connection (I'm assuming it's possible) using the Ethernet ports.
I started looking last night for information, but didn't stumble on any low hanging fruit. I'll look again tonight when I get home. I'm hoping that some of you guys with more experience can point me in a direction.
Here are a few details...
CompactLogix 5380, version 31, sending a value (Int, Real, Dint.. whatever) to a Automation Direct BRX doing some data logging.
I have some thoughts, but would rather pose the question and see what comes of it.
