Crawling Logix I/O Trees?

I'm not much closer to the solution I'm hunting, but when my Port crawler is pointed at various types of devices (1756-ENxT, 1756-L8x, 5069-L3xx, 5069-AENT, 1734-AENTR, PanelView Plus 7 Performance & Standard etc.), some really interesting information is revealed about them and how they do CIP.

Not sure if this is what you want, but Rockwell has a service called the system ferret tool(Free but erased from AB's downloads), or more recently the AssetInventory addon in Assetcentre. They can crawl your CIP network and create a list.

I use System Ferret whenever I can.

It has even found rogue devices and unofficial cross-connections from non Subnet switches.

Take that, expensive software (!)
 
To add to the port discovery above, ArmorBlocks (1732E-) don't appear to use CIP ports. Guard ArmorBlocks might, so I can find another unit to test with.
