Developer should have a selection to go to terminal setup screen. From the setup screen you can get the IP setting. You can set your ip based on this and connect directly by a crossover cable or if their is space on the hub, plug in there with a standard RJ-45 cable. There also should be a serial port on the unit, you can connect using it. You have to setup rslinx to have a driver for either ethernet or serial to connect to the unit.

[Analog input with ML1500]

I would take a look at the ultrasonic application and make sure you have it configured for the correct tank dimensions. If it is a cylindrical tank with a flat bottom, little setup should be needed but if bottom is angular in shape, you will need to take that into consideration with the configuration of the transmitter. Most ultrasonic transmitters allow for taking this into consideration but the actual way they input the calibration data varies widely. Your vendor should be able to provide assistance, if needed.

[Ethernet/IP to DH+]

I just completed converting a mill at one of our facilities from an ancient Siemens S5 to AB Compact Logix. The rest of the facility used a DH+ network that we are going to upgrade as a separate project to ethernet/IP. But for the present time, in order to get the upgraded mill on the HMI and collect data, I was wondering if anyone has experience with a reliable gateway for Ethernet/IP to DH+ ?
