Has anyone successfully connected a ControLogix PLC with REA Jet Datacon software using an Ethernet connection? Any insights or advice on this integration would be highly valued.
Currently, I am involved in a rea-jet project that utilizes the ST200 interface.
I also have experience using the ST200 over RS232 to connect to a ProSoft MVI56E-GSC as a RSL5K Generic Module. While this setup may not be considered cutting-edge, it performs smoothly and effectively.
I'm completely new to this, can someone explain what the ST200 interface is? Our goal is to establish communication via Ethernet.
The ST200 provides a reliable Serial ASCII communication link for REA DOD type systems controllers, offering RS232, RS422, or RS232/422 connectivity options. While the initial setup may be a bit cumbersome and the User Manuals appear to be translations from German, the system proves to be efficient and dependable once in operation.
Hey everyone! I'm in need of programming references for the REA ST200 printer terminal to connect it with Logix using the Anybus serial gateway. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any documentation for the printer terminal online (only available in Russian). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yes, I have been successful in connecting a ControlLogix PLC with REA Jet Datacon software using an Ethernet/IP connection. A crucial point is consistent data mapping on both devices. I suggest using the Generic Ethernet Module object in the RSLogix/Studio 5000 and configuring it appropriately. Also, I had to ensure that both devices were on the same subnet. If it's well set up, you should be able to read/write data between the PLC and the Datacon software seamlessly. Good luck with your integration!
Yes, I've done this integration. The key is to ensure your ControlLogix PLC is running firmware that's compatible with the REA Jet Datacon software. Also, remember that the IP address on both devices needs to be in the same subnet. Lastly, you might have to adjust the firewall settings on the side of the Datacon software to allow incoming connections. The process isn't extensively documented by REA Jet, but with a little patience and troubleshooting, it's definitely possible.
