Ethernet I/P

[Paolo_911 4]

I want to communicate with a load cell / scale controller SCT20-IP, which says it is Ethernet/IP. Do I need the EIP4CPPU or do you think I'll be able to communicate using QJ71E71-100?

it you want to communicate with EtherentIP slave you need EthernetIP master.

The  EIP4CPPU will work, but if I remember correctly you had to use a high speed backplane like the Q35DB and the EIP4CPPU had to go in Slot 0. I don't think those same rules apply to the QJ71EIP71 Ethernet/IP master. I looked into using the QJ71EIP71 a couple years ago and they said it wasn't available in the US yet. That may have changed now. Another option if you have a controller with a built in port would be a gateway. I've used ICC's ETH-1000 before on several different Ethernet/IP devices and have had no issues.
