Team,
I am trying to communicate with an LSIS XGT PLC. The PLC has an EIPT (Rockwell Ethernet IP protocol) card in it. Has anyone got any experience?
I am a complete noob to AdvancedHMI software.
EthernetIPforPLC5Com looks most appropriate, but I am not sure, and there is no generic driver I can see. I have set up the correct IP address, but I expect that the PLC is the server and the PC is the Client? I have set up the tag names / addresses on the PLC, but I can't seem to get anything.
When I do an 'autoscan' on the PLC it can see the PC and has the P (Parameter) and D (Diagnostic) lit up, but the A (Active) is dulled out. In the status by service it says the PLC address is NONEXIST which doesn't look good.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

The AdvancedHMI EIP drivers use class 3 connected explicit messages with symbolic addressing and service code 0x4c (Read Tag). This is very specialized to reading tag values in a ControlLogix. Unless your PLC imitates this, the drivers will not work.
Those PLCs look like a rebranded Omron. Do they support FINS communications?
