Hi.
Trying to get my head around the various versions of ethernet used at present by Rockwell.
Correct me if I am wrong.
ControlLogix family uses CIP through port 44818
SLC 505 (latest firmware) uses both CIP (port 44818) and CSPv4 (port 2222)
ML1100 uses CIP (port 44818)
Now for the problem
We use quite a few Kingfisher RTUs to transfer data around a radio network. Normally we transfer the data from the kingfisher to the Micrologix at each radio location via DF1 (the kingfisher supports DF1 half duplex mode)
At one station we cannot do this as it is a retrofit and the serial port of the Micrologix is already being used as a modbus master. The Kingfisher supports ethernet but their driver tries to utilise port 2222. Now Kingfisher have said they will rewrite the driver for us to use port 44818 but from my reading I think there is a lot needed as the ML1100 uses CIP not CSPv4.
Can someone give a brief laymens terms description of the differences or the problems involved.
Thank you for your time.
