  1. ControlLogix and Keyence

    I appreciate all the input on this matter. We have chosen to try the Prosoft ASCII module (MVI56-GSC) to get this data into our AB PAC. We plan on grabbing the 800 point profile from the Keyence controller. Our goal is to be able to utilize the Keyence controller to grab the data fast enough and then pass it to our PAC, which should take some of the load off the PAC by allowing the Keyence to handle it. We will hopefully be testing the setup next week if all goes as planned. I will post findings when I have them.
  2. ControlLogix and Keyence

    I'm having trouble getting information from the Keyence rep, but from what I have found out so far, the LJG has RS-232 and ethernet. But I am finding out that the ethernet is only for use with the setup software, not for communication to a PLC. That basically leaves RS-232, which will require us to convert serial to ethernet, since our serial port on that processor is already being used. This is why I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this setup and possibly some other suggestions or advice that we may not be thinking of.
  3. I am trying to use a Keyence LJG laser controller with a ControlLogix to capture the profile of an object. The LJG is capable of taking a snapshot of up to 800 points of data at a time, but I'm having trouble getting that data into the ControlLogix. Does anyone have any experience with this that may be able to offer some advice?
