Hi All,
On-site we currently have various CLV62x Scanners, these scanners connect via ethercat to a beckhoff PLC,
We wish however to use the Ethernet/IP Function of just 1 scanner to communicate directly to our Warehousing Database.
We have on site software and database developers who are ready to engage this project however we wish to know how to Develop or utilise an existing EDS file to extract data from the scanner.
Else a further option is to attempt to use an existing AB1769 with ethernet but the scanner sits on a different subnet and communcations thus far have failed, this may be rectified by a direct connection or pleads to the IT community to redirect subnets.
Does anyone have experience with SICK scanners and communications over Ethernet/IP or are familiar with the Beckhoff TwinCat 2 systems and Sick EDS and are able to help send a message from the Beckhoff system to our own Database?
