What third party devices are you thinking of?

[cool341 0]

Any third party controller which is CIP based or can communicate over Ethernet/IP. For example, OMRON has come up with a special Ethernet/IP Interface to communicate with Logix controllers, now if I want to connect PVP directly to OMRON over Ethernet/IP. How can I communicate? According to my understanding there are two ways of doing that i) through Kepserver ii) by some setting/configuration in RSLinx Enterprise. And as of now in Kepserver no such driver has been developed(I may be wrong) and about RSLinx Enterprise i have no idea. If anybody has done similar thing or facing similar problem......please share your knowledge!! Thanks and Regards Rohit

Can you give a link to the Omron interface? If it is made to talk to the Logix platform then I know I could make it work with a Standard Panelview. I'm not saying it can't be done with a Panelview Plus but you may need to go a different route
