Hi All!
I'm working on a project using a Micro 820 and an Ethernet/IP enabled distance sensor (linked below). Basically, all I have to do is pull the sensor value into the PLC so it can be displayed on an HMI.
The sensor manufacturer has documentation on how to set up using Logix5000 and that looks pretty straightforward, but I can't find anything on the Micro 800 line of controllers. CCW lacks any support with EDS files so I have to setup CIP generic messaging per Rockwell support. They also gave me a document with examples, but that didn't help me much as I couldn't find one that fit my case. Their document primarily consisted of PLC to PLC communication. Has anyone done this before or know of some literature I can reference?
Here is the sensor:

Here is the document from Rockwell:
