In 7 easy to follow Steps you can configure this Application to communicate Directly to a ControlLogix based PLC via a configured Router. Application Performs CIP directly with Processor. Easy to follow Steps very configurable. Simple and Effective application.

Make it your own screen personalize it. Its as good as you make it.


NOTE: LAST STEP Before hitting done ensure your Routers IP address is configured to communicate with Processor as a LAN device (easy set Its IP address). Example (Processor IP 192.168.1.201) your Router should be set to (192.168.1.XXX --> unique IP not used in network).

NOTE: LAST STEP once Router is configured and you force your Device to communicate with Router Ensure the Tags the APP has requested you add into Controller are there to Read and Write to. If they are not there you will get an error. It will prompt you to recheck Controller Tags and communication.
