I need to know if someone has used the EN1 Ethernet adapter for the MicroLogix to communicate with two other Ethernet devices. If so, how does one specify the destination IP address. I assume that a node address is translated to a IP address in the EN1. | |

I can't help you with the EN1 MicroLogix specificsm, but before you get too far down the primrose path you had better check on compatibility of the other two ethernet devices with the A-B emmbodiment of ethernet. You may have already verified this, but it is a common misconception that any two ethernet devices can 1) talk to each other and 2) exchange information. While the first is generally true, the second isn't. Ethernet just makes sure the two devices can exhange information packets, but it is necessary to have the sender and receiver use the same structure inside the packet to allow the receiver to understand the request and provide the info the sender is asking for. | |
