ethernet/ip micrologix 1400

[LV_Pro]

What is necessary to communicate with the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell micrologix 1400 controller using the LabVIEW Ethernet/IP toolkit? Is RSLinx needed? From what I can tell looking at the Micrologix 1400 "stuff" Ethernet/IP is supported in the controller, but I'm not clear as to what other support software/hardware is needed.

On a parallel path, what would be needed to talk to it via Modbus?

As always, Thanks!

Hi Putnam

You should only need the LabVIEW Ethernet/Ip toolkit here is a link with some brief information.

Regarding your other question I will recommend you to create a new thread, but to answer your question it depend if you want to use the DSC module or the modbus library.
