Micrologix 1400 ethernet communication with 7 Segment Display

[PRAVEENRAWAT086@GMAI]

I need to establish an ethernet communication between Microlgix 1400 & 7 Segment Display. Need a suggestion regarding the same.

Your 7 segment display would have to have an Ethernet port and IP address, then have the ML send a message containing the value to display to that IP.

Get a display that support Modbus TCP, use a ML1400 that also supports Modbus TCP.

Thanks both of you.
Will get back in case of any query.

What kind of interface does your 7-segment display have ?

If it's discrete, then you typically will need 4 outputs per digit, as the 7-segment display will have a BCD to 7-segment decoder chip inside. That's a lot of outputs to use to drive a display.

If it uses Modbus RTU (serial) or Modbus TCP (Ethernet) that will probably be easier.

Many "7 segment displays" are actually panel meters, with an analog input.

Describe as much as you can about how the 7-segment display you want to use works.
