Title: DoMore BRX comm to AB Controllogix with ethernet IP
Post by: jwbaker3 on December 13, 2019, 10:05:43 AM

What is the best way to message data between a BRX and a Controllogix with Ethernet? Both on the same subnet.

Thanks,
JW

Use the Explicit Message Server.

Thanks for the reply. I already know this, I have used DoMore's to talk to many other pieces of hardware with Ethernet IP but never an AB Controllogix. I am look for an example of how to set up the AB and the DoMore. I tried to get the AB to talk to the BRX but had comm failures. I am sure it is a setup problem.

Thanks,
JW

Attached is a module for setting up the MSG instruction for a CLX
