I am trying to test a scanner application where I am converting RS232 to Ethernet IP, and then reading the results at an A-B compactlogix L23E PLC.
I do not have the scanner, and I do not have the RS232 to Ethernet gateway that will take the scanners RS232 signal and convert it to Ethernet IP before sending to the PLC.
I have the ladder logic done to accept and parse the string from the scanner...but I do not have anyway to test it without the scanner and gateway.
What is the best way to test the code without the scanner and gateway? Is there an emulator that I can use to simulate the EIP packets?
If there is a simulator for the EIP, how would I simulate the Gateway?
