Hi All,
I am working on an application where I must use EIP communication to a ML1100. (Not enough IO).
I have the Camera writing the Pass/Fail result to the PLC using a 'FormatOutputBuffer' and then 'WriteEIPBuffer' on the camera and then I am reading it using a message function on the PLC.
However, I will have to read the Online/Offline status of the camera as well as setting the Camera offline to change Jobs and then setting it back online.
I know that I need to use Native Mode commands such as SO0 and SO1 to set the Camera ON/Offline.
I have tried writing these out as a string to the camera and using ReadEIP on the camera to receive the string but I'm not having any luck.
I am struggling here as my knowledge is limited so any and all help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nortech.
