Hi all,
I am developing an application at the minute using a Kinetix 300 and a Micrologix 1400. The servo must follow a shaft on an existing machine, I am setting up a Sick quad encoder and coupling it to the shaft. The encoder is wired directly into the drive inputs. The user will be able to adjust the gearing ratio using a PanelView 600, wired back to a Micrologix 1400.
Can I use the 4 ethernet output assemblies to reduce programming using the Micrologix? I.e. use one to configure master gearing, another to set the ratio(s)? (The only functionality required from the HMI is to change the ratio).
I have used them before with rslogix 5000, a bit easier with the AOI. Has anyone experience with ethernet CIP messaging with Micrologix? ( I am currently waiting delivery on the motor so haven't had a chance to test it out)
