Hi All

Has anyone connected a Festo CPX(or somting like it) valve block to a compact logix over ethernet IP. I have used them over devicnet and profibus and had no problems. I have connected a powerflex drive over ethernet and again this was no problem, and I must say I taught it was brill.
I am not sure but I think I need to use a MSG block butI am sure what I should put into Instace,Class and Attribute.

Any help would be great.

You configure the block in ethernet's I/O tree

data type will be created in Controller tags that are grouped as 8 bit blocks (SINT). Each bit is a valve
