MicroLogix 1000's and WiFi

First off, I know nothing of Wi-Fi protocols as it relates to Automation. Sad to say I have never worked anywhere that it was in use. So I come to you with (almost) complete ignorance on this subject.

I was approached today by my manager, he says that the plant manager has suddenly decided that he wants to have about a dozen machines hooked up via Wi-Fi so that they can monitor run time. That is all well and good except... All of these machines have MicroLogix 1000's in them.

I know that I can install 1100's, I could also install a stand alone Arduino system. The list goes on and on I am sure.

What I was wondering, is there anything on the market that would be a simple; more or less, plug and play. I just need a single signal; on or off, that I can transmit wirelessly.

If you have read down this far, thank you for taking the time to review my problem.

We've used these before, not inexpensive but they work and are pretty robust.

Could also look into the advantech WISE line.. I haven't used those but I keep seeing them and have been intrigued.

Data-Linc Group had a device called the Net620 which was basically an EtherNet/IP to DF1 bridge. You could put one at every MicroLogix1000 and access them via EtherNet/IP. However it's not on their web site but the site is new and it's possible that they accidentally left it off. I'd reach out (http://data-linc.com/contact-us/) and see if they still have it. It's very simple to us and works well.
