Thanks so much for your help Jeff and Ken. Matt -
Hi everyone, I need some advice. I am using a ControlLogix to interface with a drive via RS-232. The drive uses the manufacturer’s proprietary binary protocol and I will write the communication interface as a 'C' application. Before I write the 'C' application I am researching possible ways to do this, so far I have the following options: ControlLogix -> Prosoft MVI56-ADM ('C' Programmable Communications Interface for ControlLogix) -> Drive http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/view/full/2919 ControlLogix -> Ethernet Module (Modbus TCP/IP) -> Industrial Microcontroller -> Drive ControlLogix -> Embedded operating system industrial PC (eg. Prosoft PC56-XP) --> Drive http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/view/full/1062#) Does anyone know of any other ways to do this? I have searched for days and cannot find any other companies besides Prosoft who have created a 'C' application module for the ControlLogix platform, does anyone know of any other companies who do this? At the moment I believe the Prosoft MVI56-ADM card is way to go as it will be the easiest to implement. What do you think? Thanks in advance for you help. Matt
