Using a COP instruction in Logix is all you need.  You don't need BTD or anything special.  Copy from a Real to INT/SINT then send the result to the Modbus device, and when reading a float, copy from the INT/SINT to the Real tag.  Depending on the byte/word order, you may need to do swapping, which you can do in the gateway.

You said.. "They expect me to transfer Local:1:I.Data.0 to 100001 for their use in the DCS Control equipment." That's never going to happen since you cannot write to 1x/3x Input registers. If the MNET module was a slave, they would be able to write to 400001, which by default uses the same address space as 100001. So, if 400001 = 1, then 100001/300001 = 1. There are offsets that allow you to change this, but by default they're not used. Perhaps the EPC internal registers are similar?

The format between 5-digit and 6-digit addressing is identical; so the MNET unit does support ant 6-digit addressing. Example.. if you tell the MNET module to send data to address 0, it will send that data to address 0, which is 40001 and 400001. If you tell the MNET module to send data to address 1000, it will send to 1000, which is 41001 and 401001. The main difference is that some devices support 65535 registers, which requires an additional digit (400001), and some Modbus devices only supported 9999 registers and don't need the extra digit. Is that what you're asking?

Function code 101 is not a standard Modbus function code. I don't know of any Modbus TCP clients that support this FC since it is vendor-specific.

You might be better off just buying a 1336 drive off of Ebay.

I've used ProSoft i-View with the MicroLogix 1400, and it works pretty well. You can find it on the Apple App Store.

Steve.. The MVI56E-MCM can go in either the local or remote rack. Obviously, the ladder will slightly change depending on the rack it's in. For example.. if it's in the local rack slot1, it's addressed as "Local:1". If it's in a remote rack slot1, it's addresses as "<Remote CNB Name>:1"

Data Stations are great for many protocols, but I don't think the data stations support EGD, so the user is forced to use SRTP. I've used it many times, but ONLY when EGD isn't available.

ProSoft has an EtherNet/IP to Ethernet Global Data gateway that should work great in this scenario. http://www.prosoft-technology.com/Products/Gateways/EtherNet-IP/EtherNet-IP-to-GE-Ethernet-Global-Data-Gateway

A couple of things to try... If you have another unit, try it, as I'm not 100% sure it's a browser issue. Even though it appears to be an browser/security issue, it may also be a firmware issue (past experience). Try other browsers, if all browsers have the same issue, then you should reflash the firmware: ILX34-AENWG Firmware v3.5.0 Are you connecting to the webpage via wireless or LAN? Don't connect both, as this can cause issues also. Please try this also... Power off the ILX34 and set the dial to '777' Power on for one minute then power off Set the dial to '888' Power on for one minute then power off Set the dial to 123 and power on Try to connect to 192.168.1.123

Hmm.. not sure of an easy way to do this. I know it can be done with a series of COP from stringtag.data element to DINT, then swap bytes and copy from swap destination to another stringtag1.data. Depending on the size of the string, you may have to copy to several temporary tags and then concat them to the final tag. Also, check with Honeywell to see if there is a swap parameter prior to sending the data.

Regarding the GW1000. You might take a look at this: http://gw1000.org/

FTView Studio may open/extract the .apa if it's the same version. If the .apa was created with a different FT than what you plan to export with then you'll probably run in to issues.

Try this.. Go to Start>Run>type in msconfig and press Enter Once the System Configuration Utility pops up, find the line that resembles: ChassisLaunchMonitor "C:\Program Files\Rockwell Automation\SoftLogix5800\ChassisMonLauncher.bat" Uncheck the line above and press OK. Hope that helps.
