We've had this working over RS232 for several years using AWT and ARD ASCII commands in the Controllogix program.
Markem has now unleashed an Ethernet based firmware version and we've tested some basic NGPCL commands over hyperterminal with positive results.
Does anyone have experience interfacing NGPCL over ethernet with an actual Controllogix PLC though? I assume we would need to set the interface up as a generic ethernet module and map an I/O table and communicate through that (in the PLC).
Whether we can do raw Ethernet Messaging with the Controllogix command set I am not sure.
Anyone?
