Thats right Ken, By importing the 1794-ADN into RSNetworx itself, when configuring aa adapter I only got the "General" tab where I only can set the address, there are no config. options for the modules... that proves that the EDS is not enough. Now I got an idea of the problem, Thanks a lot!

Steve, The GE PLC is given as part of a "key in hand" project. So I better get familiar with it. I will have to connect some extra IO. My cheap option is AB FlexIO, I'd like to know if I'm getting into trouble...

Hi all, I'm new on this forum so, first, congratulations for the forum, great place! I'm not sure if it is the right place for this question, it concerns GE and Allen Bradley.... For a new project I'm using a series 90-30 PLC (I'm not familiar with it nor with any GE) and I'd like to use Allen Bradley FlexIO (1794-xxx) for discrete IO over DeviceNet. At firs glance I think I have to import the EDS of the 1794-ADN into some GE's DeviceNet configuration software and it should work. I wonder if someone has experience in this and get some advice like "I've tried and you'll get in trouble..." or "it's straight forward, go ahead..." Thanks all, alaric08
