We are working on a job, and our customer insisted we use a Rockwell Automation product. I normally don't code with these so am new to them.
I have to send an ethernet message, and from what I read I have set up a
'CIPsymbolic' message. (I hope this is the right way to do it).
Everything looks okay, but I put a data length of 24 and a data type 196 which as I understand it should send an array of 24 DINT's out.
However, the block will only accept USINT on the input? Shouldn't this change by the data type I set? or do I have to break up my 24 DINT's to 96 USINT's (Bytes)?
Or have I just got the whole thing completely wrong and there is a much easier way of doing it????
