Can a ControlLogix PLC communicate over Ethernet using TCP/IP?
I need to interface to an existing (proprietary) system, sending TCP/IP 'frames' or buffers to request return data. I have the format of the frames for the data.
So I'm thinking I would create some template buffers (UDTs?) and some logic that would go into an AOI (or custom function block of some kind)?
There would have to be logic to read other Controllers (by IP Address) in the proprietary system, AND also to respond to requests for data from the proprietary Controllers.
If this cannot be done, then it's going to require hard-wiring, which I'd like to avoid.
