Hello Gents, I apologize for the late intrusion (and lack of ability to help with the contribution to the thread)... From my understanding of the thread there is no way to communicate/send a string to a ENBT (1756-ENBT to be exact). I am using 1756-ENBT modules, a 1756-L62S LogixPLC and of course RSLogix5000. I'm just getting into the field (fresh meat from school) and my project requires a Vision PC to communicate to the PLC via ethernet (strings preferably). If I can't do strings is it possible just to send values for the tags (ex VARIABLE_1=1 or 0)? The vision PC is running Sherlock I believe (I will confirm later). We are scanning parts that are zooming by on a press line to check against an ideal part image. I will be recieving this data, storing it in the PLC and then sending an output to a PV1500+. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks Joe (sorry for hi-jacking the thread)
