Here's the technote from Red Lion in case anyone else needs to do this.  Thanks again fellas! http://www.redlion.net/sites/default/files/1299/4388/G3%20to%20the%20ControlLogix%20via%20Ethernet%20IP%20TNOI17.pdf

Good news (at least for me).  There is already a Red Lion Data Station Plus in the existing panel.  The GE plc and gen set controller are already talking to it.  I found some good documentation on how to read data FROM controllogix TO the Red Lion (L5K imports into the Red Lion nicely)....but how do you read FROM the Red Lion TO the controllogix?  I haven't been able find anything on that.  Any info would be helpful.  Thanks guys!

Thanks for the quick responses.  Now that I know a little more, I'll revisit the existing system and verify the existing hardware.  I may be in luck, there might already be a Red Lion DataStation Plus in the panel.  I'll let you know how this turns out.  Thanks again!

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, but I'm not a PLC newb as I've been immersed in the AB world for over 20 years.  I'm doing some contract work for a plant who wants me to read some data from an existing GE RXi controller (ICRXICTL000-CH specifically).  This controller has (2) profinet ports and (1) gigabit e-net port.  I'm not at all familiar with GE PLC's, but, since it has an e-net port, this may be possible.  The PLC doing the reading is a 1756-L74.  My initial thought was this:  If I give the GE guys IP addresses so they can connect to our network and have them move all of the pertinent info into (1) register, I should be able to read it.  Am I way off base?  Any input is greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
