Hi all,
This is going to be a fairly long post. I am researching into SCADA security and would appreciate if anyone could provide any inputs for the same. I am trying to establish a communication between a Micrologix 1100 device and a HMI( I was thinking of EasyBuilder pro for its easy availability). I need to run a very basic program running on the PLC which could be controlled from the HMI, just a simple turn on and turn off would also do. I just need to tap into between and try to compromise the Ethernet/IP protocol connected through a RJ45 cable using the tool I developed.
I have established a communication using a RSlinx through a RJ 45 connector and I am able to capture the ethernet/ip packets basically asking for the device.
My questions are:
1. When I try to add the device in EasyBuilder pro it has a option for Ethernet-IP/DF1, will this selection be suitable for connection through RJ45?
2. Can anyone help me write a simple program just to turn ON and OFF using a toggle switch on the HMI (EasyBuilder Pro) or any other recommended free HMI?
3. Also is there any other HMI advisable?
4. Is it possible to read a program from a already programmed PLC? I mean the program which is already dumped onto the PLC/
I am new to the PLC world and kind of getting my head around it.
Any help or inputs would be really appreciated. Please do ask for clarification if at all my post wasn't clear.
Thanks!
