NET-ENI MODULE

(OP)
I have an application where the customer wants a micrologix 1200 controller communicating through an NET-ENI module to an IDEC touchscreen.I am able to download to the micrologix controller through the NET-ENI module,but can't see any data
comming back to the display.Is there any settings that I'm Missing

RE: NET-ENI MODULE

Hello;
     Does the IDEC touchscreen support EtherNet/IP? You can not use the standard DF1 drivers.

RE: NET-ENI MODULE

(OP)
The answer to my question was no. You can not communicate from the IDEC Touchscreen through an Allen Bradley Net-Eni Ethernet Module. The driver to support AB’s Ethernet IP Protocol wont be available in the software until after Jan. Although It is still Possible to have a Micrologix Plc on Ethernet an still use a IDEC touchscreen, but you have to use the Micrologix 1200R controller. The 1200R has 2 communication ports (Both Mini Din), One is not programmable (strictly DF1). The other is user programmable.
