RSLinx is not needed if using the native drivers. The native drivers are simpler and tremendously faster. For the ML1100 you would just add an EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom to the form and set the IP address.

o.k thanks so much , that would lighten the load on cost not having RSLinx Installed at $1,400   :)     thanks
