I am working on a project were I've got to have several displays showing temperatures from different tanks. The data is at a pair of MicroLogix 1100's, and I want to send it to some Automation Direct ViewMarq displays (4 screens from one PLC and 2 from another, each displaying 3 temperatures). After some research, it doesn't appear that this is something that is going to be as easy as I had thought. The ViewMarqs support Modbus TCP but the MSG command from the MicroLogix is Ethernet/IP (from what I understand). Do I need a Ethernet-slave to Modbus-master gateway, or is there some other work around?
I cannot use the serial connection, since I will have multiple screens connected to each PLC.
