M1100, ethernet & Proficy

[slcman 9]

I want to install a micrologix 1100 and GE Quickpanel view IC754VSI06STD. I prefer to use ethernet communicaton but it's not work. Anyone try it?

The Micrologix 1100 uses CIP so you will need to use a driver that supports it. Kepwares ContolLogix Ethernet driver has support for the ML 1100. http://www.kepware.com Fred Loveless Support Manager Kepware Technologies

I use ML1100's with GE QP IC754Vxx06Cxx. I had no success with the Ethernet driver because in needed LINT's in my HMI app. I ended up using the DF1 driver off of comm port 2 (DB25). Haven't tried the Kepware CIP driver. I might try it when I get time.

slcman, I looked up the GE QuickPanel and it does not support Ethernet/IP. Ethernet/IP is the communication protocol for the ML1100. I use the IDEC HG3F 10 inch and the HG4F 12 inch Touch Screens. They have built in Ethernet that uses Ethernet/IP communications. IDEC is updating the HG2F 6 inch Touch Screen to include an Ethernet port. Hope this helps.
