ML1400 to Zebra
Have done this 100 times over the last 10 years.
Two choices:
A. Send ASCII strings out of the PLC serial ports (configured to ASCII)
Or
B. Buy a Real Time Automation Ethernet to ASCII Gateway.
Either or the above will work INSTANTLY.
Or, try this with socket based Ethernet messaging via RSLogix 500. You may get there, if you have the development time budgeted into your project.
$0.02
Dear Contr_Conn:I always thought that MLX1400 can do RAW ASCII over Ethernet using Open Sockets?

I have just installed a Zebra printer with a compact logix, if you want I can send you the manual and the label construction part of the plc program.
