How to get an EDS file for Micrologix 1100?

[strantor]

I want to talk to a micrologix 1100 from a Productivity 3000 PLC using Ethernet/IP protocol. I believe I need to generate an EDS for the Micrologix wherein I specify what memory areas are exchanged; at least, that's been the procedure with other PLCs. But I can't find any method of generating an EDS in RSLogix500. How do I get these two PLCs talking? I suppose I could do it the other way around (generate an EDS in Productivity Suite and import it into RSLinx) but I have reasons to prefer the other way.

What sort of EtherNet/IP connections does Productivity 3000 support ?

The MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 controllers do not support cyclic Class 1 I/O style connections or Produced/Consumed tags.

If the Productivity 3000 supports messaging using the A-B "PCCC" data table access protocol, then that's going to be your best way to connect the controllers.

MicroLogix 1400 supports Modbust/TCP as well, but the MicroLogix 1100 only supports Modbus RTU on the serial port.

Sounds like they thought about supporting PCCC but not sure if they ever did

PCCC (used for reading and writing values to Allen Bradley
MicroLogix and SLC PLCs) are planned for subsequent phases of this protocol.
