Hi everyone,
I am using a Micrologix 1400 and would like to communicate with a Eaton PowerXL DG1 VFD to pull the data registers for the speed, current and alarms. I am doing the speed control and start/stop via DO's and Analog outputs but would like to get more data to put on the HMI.
The manual says it has Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP available. What is the easiest way to communicate with it over Ethernet? Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP? I am thinking Modbus TCP but wanted to see if anyone has any other ideas.
Give me your thoughts.
Thanks!!
