Subject: Assistance Needed for Setting Up Do-More H2-DM1E and IFM AL1020 Communication via Ethernet/IP Hello everyone, I am currently working on a project that requires the integration of a Do-More H2-DM1E controller with an IFM AL1020 device for communication over Ethernet/IP. I have thoroughly explored various manuals, watched tutorial videos, and searched online forums, yet I'm still facing challenges in getting everything to work. From what I understand, I need to utilize the EIPMSG command, and it's crucial that the Path fields align with the I/O block to establish successful communication. However, I'm struggling to interpret the charts related to the Class, Instance, and Attribute parameters. Any guidance or insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Micheal
It seems you are searching for information on EtherNet/IP Explicit Client/Server communication. For detailed guidance, refer to Chapter 18 of the manual, which covers EtherNet/IP™ object classes, messages, and services specifically for the Server (Slave) configuration. To assist you further, we've included a helpful video tutorial that demonstrates the setup process for the Client (Master) PLC. You can watch it here: [EtherNet/IP Client Setup Video](https://www.automationdirect.com/videos/video?videoToPlay=p3K3WbX406E). If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Best regards!
Thank you, Gary! This morning, I had the opportunity to conduct some tests. I'm pleased to report that I successfully enabled the comma functionality, allowing me to request and retrieve data. When I utilize class 1, instance 1, and attribute 1, I receive the value 322, which correctly corresponds to the vendor ID. However, I'm currently struggling to determine the appropriate values needed to obtain a digital reading from the pressure transducer connected to port 1. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Following approximately an hour of troubleshooting, I found that I could only retrieve basic data from the I/O block. I reached out to IFM for clarification, and they confirmed that the Do-More series of processors is not compatible with this I/O block. For a more budget-friendly automation solution, they suggested considering the Automation Direct P2K or P3K processors along with an alternative I/O block (though I don’t have my notes handy, I believe it was the AY1122 model).
Automation Direct offers the P1K (Productivity 1000 Series), which operates with the same software as the P2K and P3K models. The pricing for the P1K is comparable to that of a Click device. Best regards,
XtremeIN reported: After approximately an hour of testing, I could only retrieve some basic information from the IO block. A quick call to IFM confirmed that the Do-More series processors are not compatible with the IO block. For a budget-friendly setup, they recommended the Automation Direct P2K or P3K along with a different IO block (though I don't have my notes, I believe it was the AY1122). Additionally, have you considered posting your query on the Host Engineering forum? Engaging with this community will connect you directly with the designers and engineers behind the Do-More series. They also participate frequently in the Automation Direct forum.
