I am trying to set up a MSG read in a Micrologix 1500 LRP series C to read data from a Compactlogix L32E via a NET ENI series D. I have successfully completed a read and write using the instructions in the Compactlogix but I would like to learn how to do it from the Micrologix. I understand that is makes troubleshooting easier if you use reads instead of writes.
The ENI is connected to Channel 1 of the Micrologix. Table 45 in the ENI has the IP of the Compactlogix assigned to it. I have an L file set up in the micrologix to store the data it will receive. I have mapped a tag in the compactlogix, that I want read, to file 10 using the Map PLC/SLC Message tool. I am attaching a screen shot of my message setup in the Micrologix. I think my biggest question is what to enter as the target device's data table address, since I can't enter a tag name. I have read through the Compactlogix and Micrologix programming manuals and several technotes but I am still confused. All of this is just to teach myself how as it may get utilized in future projects.
thanks,
