I don't know anything about GE's PAC70 product. I presume that it can use one or more of GE's three Ethernet-compatible protocols: EGD, SRPT, or Modbus/TCP. Of those three protocols, the only one that you can get a ControlLogix interface for is Modbus/TCP. Prosoft Technology (www.psft.com) makes that module.

I spoke before I looked; GE's website is pretty slim on PAC information, but at least they did publish some user manuals: http://www.geindustrial.com/support/docume...nts/gfk2224.pdf I suspect you're out of luck if that user manual is current. It says that the PAC Ethernet interfaces support only GE's proprietary Ethernet protocols, not any of the open ones like Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP.
