Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Are you already communicating with this PLC from an EPICS IOC? If so, are you writing to the PLC or only reading from it?
If you are writing to it, then why not have that IOC get the EPICS values and write them to the PLC in addition to the data it is already writing?

Subject: Accessing EPICS PV from Allen-Bradley PLC
Hi,
For a small and short-lived test setup my A-B ControlLogix PLC needs to
read some EPICS values from another system. What are my options?
How about using an Ethernet/IP server library? I.e. write a program
that uses EZCA to poll the EPICS values periodically, then serve them to
the PLC via Ethernet/IP...does this work?
I prefer not to have to purchase anything (e.g KEPserver software), and
just want to use freeware to get past this test.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Sincerely,
Elliott
