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

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.
