are there any other method to know the IP address of the PLC rather than buy this device if not,are there other protocol rather than Ethernet for these plc

Sure. You can go online with through the serial port and upload the program to view the IP address. Here is an article on how. http://www.theautomationstore.com/allen-bradley-micrologix-connecting-to-the-plc-over-a-serial-port-or-usb-to-serial-adapter/ Or find another known IP address on the network that communicates with the PLC so you know how to configure your PC IP address. Here is and article on connection via the Ethernet port. http://www.theautomationstore.com/allen-bradley-micrologix-going-online-over-ethernet/
