Which AutomationDirect PLC? Does it support Ethernet/IP? I would use direct PLC to PLC if possible.

I only use the ComBridge as a last resort because of potential issues such as someone closing the app or turning off the PC.
The ComBridge uses the normal subscription mechanism, so it goes into the pool of being optimized for you.

The more robust way (also more expensive) to do this would be either:
- implement direct modbus protocol in your clx plc
https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/470365
- add a prosoft modbus card in your clx plc

- use a gateway
