Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi Kristi,

I could not find an online manual for the  FC4A-ENET.  However, some
documentation I saw online for the FC5A-D16RK1 suggests that it is
Modbus compatible.  If so, then you may be able to use my Modbus driver,
which works with Ethernet or serial:

Note that Koyu PLCs from Automation Direct are also less expensive than
Allen Bradley, and they are definitely Modbus compatible.

Mark
