Hi All,

I have a GEFANUC 28 point Micro PLC and I have EtherCaT Bus coupler with some I/O modules of BeckOFF PLC.Now Please anybody can help me how to connect or Talk between these two PLC's.
Communication through Ethernet.Basically my intention is to acess the Beckhoff PLC I/O's into GEFANUC PLC.

Thanks In Advance.
 
Dear MJK,

Mind you that I am not very firmilliar with GE Fanucs products. But as I understand it, the GEFANUC 28 point Micro PLC can only act as a Modbus RTU slave.( http://www.engineeringtalk.com/news/gef/gef100.html )
The Beckhoff PLC acts as an EtherCat master and to connect the two, you will need a gateway that can act EtherCat slave to Modbus RTU master.
I work for HMS and we have such a gateway:

If you have any technical questions, let me know.
