That was it.  CX-Integrator would not work with my CV-1000 processor but the CX-Net: PLC network configuration tool did (under tools/network setting in CX-Programmer - just a note if anybody else runs across this post).  My PLC#1 didn't have anything in the FINS Local table for either card and the PLC#2 did.  I setup the routing table for the ETN card as network 1 and it worked first try.  The only thing that was unclear is the module number in the third control word.  I used the node of PLC#2 + #00 as the module number, which works so I'm guessing that the module number is only needed if we are talking to something other than a PLC, like a computer with NSB card. Thanks for the Help Scott

Hello,   I have 2 CV1000 PLCs that I need to move a small amount of Data around via the Ethernet cards.  Here is my setup. PLC#1  CV500-ETN01 - Unit 02 Node 3D (IP 192.168.1.61)  AND a CV500-SNT01 - Unit 03 Node 04 PLC#2  CV500-ETN01 - Unit 02 Node 29 (IP 192.168.1.41)  AND a CV500-SNT01 - Unit 03 Node 05 The reason I include the sysnet card information is because I can get this to work via sysnet but I need it to get it working via ethernet. Right now I can use RECV D50 D200 D300 with D300=2h, D301=0h, D302=500h, D303=605h and D304=0h.  <-- This works for the sysnet when run from PLC#1 I don't know how to set this up to use the ethernet card, I have tried several combinations in D300-D304 with no success.   I have got PLC#1 setup in PLC#2's routing table and visa versa.  Any help will be great.   Thanks, Scott  

That works very well.  Thanks  

Jay,  that is a really good tutorial on how to setup the DDE Manager and read data from the PLC but I was wondering how to write data to the PLC using the DDE Manager and Excel.   Thanks

Any tutorial on how to write data from the spreadsheet to the PLC?   Thanks
