triplc compatibility with other branded plcs.

[pasanlaksiri]

Hi, I do custom electronics. Mostly using micros.
For quite some time i have been playing around with Super PLC Fx2424.

My problem is :
I have to communicate and exchange some data with Allen Bradley PLC.
And using 485 bus is not possible. So I have to use IP Based Ethernet Protocol.    

My question is:
1) Does this possible to archive ?
2) Does triplc has any add-ons for Allen Bradley to include?
3) I am kind of lost on this issue, if some one could guide me, I highly appreciate it.

Does the Allen Bradley PLC support Modbus RTU on its RS485 or Modbus TCP on its Ethernet?

If he does then you will be able to communicate with the Allan bradley PLC using the READMODBUS, WRITEMODBUS, READMB2 and WRITEMB2 command.

To communicate via the Ethernet you will need to open a Modbus TCP connection to the Modbus TCP server and after the connection is established you can then use the READMODBUS...etc to communicate with the Modbus TCP server.

you can see some examples of how to do Modbus as the master/client by going to C:\TRiLOGI\TL6\user\samples\Ethernet folder.

Thank you very much for the reply and its a bit relief.

Yes its supports Modbus RTU on 485 bus. But I am not sure about the Modbus TCP on its Ethernet.
I should check with the data sheet.

And surely I could say its been very interesting to use TRIPLCs. Love the flexibility.

I will update this post with my project.
