I have an upcoming job where I will need to communicate via Ethernet between a PLC5/40E and an ABB AC800. The ABB is equipped with their PE1364C Modbus to Ethernet IP converter. The literature I have been given for the converter has an example of how to communicate with a ControlLogix processor using CIP Generic type messages. Is this possible with the PLC5? CIP Generic is not an option when configuring a PLC5 message.
My gut feel is that it's not possible, but I want to be sure before telling the client that he needs to buy CLX equipment.
