Ethernet/IP for ControlLogix/CompactLogix question ?
« on: June 10, 2013, 09:33:55 PM »
When using the ethernet/ip for control logic driver how do you setup which ethernet adapter on your computer to use ?
Do you have to include the plc name in the tag name (ie. plc1 gHMI_dInt) ?

If you are communicating with more than one PLC, you will need to add a driver instance to the form for each PLC and give each one the IP address of the corresponding PLC. Then in the visual control, set the CommComponent property to which driver instance to use.
