A simple problem but is there a solution?
I have a VME based control computer running linux that I need to connect to a SLC 5/05 PLC via an ethernet link.
The problem is that I am told that the data protocol used
by the SLC5/05 (MSG command) over TCP/IP is proprietory. It is not
available to third parties. The Ethernet interface on the SLC5/05 is not intended to be used by third party CPUs (such as the VME) to communicate with Rockwell Automation SLCs via TCP/IP.
Does anyone have details of the MSG protocol format to allow TCP/IP connections from third party computers over Ethernet?
