Can anyone speak to the feasibility of developing a routine in a Control/Compact logix controller to implement Modbus TCP/IP?
Yes, I am aware and have used the Prosoft modules. I have used gateways. We've even used a RL Crimson HMI as a gateway although it was miserably slow.
What I am looking at is doing it with the Logix CPU itself.
I have used and modified the modbus RTU code to implement this serially.
Is their a fundamental deficiency in the Logix 5000 messaging capabilites that makes this essentially impossible to implement over ethernet?
