Keyence IV500CA and ML1400

[asteroidehk 1]

Hello Friends

I need to communicate through Ethernet a IV500CA and a Micrologix 1400.

Have you done this?

In the Keyence page there are examples but only for compact and contrologix.

 

Thanks in advance.

From the user manual:

You may be able to do via Explicit Messages but I've never done this with a MicroLogix.

We have a few systems where a MicroLogix 1400 controls a PowerFlex 525 drive or an AMCI stepper motor via explicit messaging (MSG instructions). It's cumbersome and painful, but it does work. You'll have to build the MSG instructions based on information that's (hopefully) provided by Keyence. If their examples use MSG instructions, you may be able to duplicate those.
