Hello community, I’m looking to connect a Panel PC 2100 to an Omron CJ2M CPU31 PLC via Ethernet/IP, but I can’t find any information about it.
The eth1 port is currently already being used to communicate with a Yaskawa PLC via Modbus TCP/IP, I cant use modbus to communicate with plc omron
Hi Carlos,
One option is to use the AsEthIP library. This allows you to use an Ethernet port on the PLC for communication. There is also dedicated hardware available. See this post for more information: Communication Protocol Devices - Share Info & Ideas / How-To & Wikis - B&R Community
Hi Marcus,
I tried to load the EDS file to AS, but it won’t let me add the device to eth2, I get this message: It is not possible to connect hardware module CJ2M-EIP21 V2.1 to connector IF4 of 5PPC2100_BY01_000, because there is no fitting connector on CJ2M-EIP21 V2.1.
Any suggestion?
About the library, is there any manual or tutorial to use it?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I’m not familiar with EthernetIP, but as I remember AsEthIp is an implementation based on a standard ethernet interface of a PLC, therefore EDS files aren’t usable for this library.
To use EDS files, you need an additional dedicated EthernetIP interface.
Some information about AsEthIp can be found in the Automation Help:
The mentioned sample should be part of the Automation Studio installation.
Best regards!
Thank you everybody, at the end, I used Modbus tcp_any to conect with omron plc
