EnetIP Scanner Adapter

[code9753 0]

I have a situation where I would like to use multiple ControlLogix racks for I/O but I have to connect to them from another manufacturers PLC. 

Here is my question I would like setup the PLC as the Scanner (master) and use the remote racks as adapters. Rockwell's documentation does say that the EN2T can be used and an adapter and I think I have done that in a purely Rockwell environment a million times so that works. I want to understand how to do that in an mixed environment. 

I would use a 1756-EN2T and have basic digital and analog IO in the racks.

It really depends on the brand of scanner and whether they will handle a chassis-based EDS file properly. Unless you use rack optimization for the chassis' digital I/O,  the EN2T would not show up in the scanners' I/O configuration at all.  Just the targeted actual I/O modules.

What actual PLC brands will be scanners for your case?

(I suppose I should play with this in my lab.....  I have an Omron NJ501 and a Keyence KV-8k that could be test dummies.)
