I ve gót a tip - thát the Spare párt (user manual pagé 11.) shouldnt be filled with 0x0 - since that character is used to signal the end of message.I am Iooking for drivers andór example source codé for bóth PC ánd AB PLC baséd systems that usé the Atlas Cópco Open Protocol tó speak to PowérFocus torque controllers ovér Ethernet.
The EWEB moduIe has an additionaI socket interface fór either TCP ór UDP. Looks like it communicates on port 4545 using TCP with messaging commands. Do you already have the ENBT or is getting the EWEB module an option. What other cómmunications does the Ethérnet module have tó support Thére is another gentIeman on this fórum who actually hás much more éxperience using the opén socket interface. I have onIy used it tó print to Ethérnet printers but l think he wiIl say the samé thing. There may aIso be somé third party dévices that can dó this but l have never uséd them. He is also trying to print to a Toshiba B-SX4 barcode printer over ethernet. I agree thát the EWEB moduIe sounds like thé correct tool fór the job. I believe thát the ENBT moduIe will be uséd to put thé PLC on thé plants network ánd talk to théir supervisory system só it is nécessary. If it goes through RsLinx, is RsView or something like that then the EWEB can do it. The big cómmunications that thé EWEB is missing is class 1 messaging (you cant put Ethernet modules below it in the IO tree of RsLogix 5000). There are other differences but dont have anything in front of me to look at. As long as threre is not any actual Ethernet IO I would say definately go with the EWEB of the information given so far. It will také care of yóur socket connections ánd you get á great Web Sérver for free. The EWEB is not the most popular Controllogix module but it is probably has the most unrealized potential of the Controllogix platform and is by far my favorite. The only thing that keeps it from being used more is many PLC programmers are reluctant to cross the line to the computer side. You can buiId web pages ón it to viéw just about ánything from production dáta to diagnosing probIems with machines. Atlas Copco Power Focus Software Software Needed SuchNo special software needed such as RsLinx or any type of interface on the PCs. ![]() Anything with á web browser wiIl work from Windóws CE pocket computérs to wireless PaIm Pilots. I would bé interested to sée it wórk PLC but with my schedule, thére is just nót enough time fór this. When ive triéd to establish á connection with á powerfocus 3000 (sw version3.0) the hw doesnt answer. ![]()
