 Does anyone know if there is Epics device support for 
 the Allen-Bradley 1785-ENET ethernet/ip module?

 I would like to create a soft ioc that can talk to an
 Allen-Bradley PLC5 plc via a 1785-ENET sidecar module.

 It would be interesting to know if anyone has adapted  
 the ether_ip module to work with older plc's like the
 Allen-Bradley PLC5.

 I have a working test setup in my lab with a ControlLogix
 5561 PLC module & 1756-ENBT Ethernet/IP module that talks 
 to a soft ioc running on my Solaris box. I built the software
 using Epics version R3.14.9 and ETHER_IP module 2-15-asd2.

 We would like to upgrade the old "blue hose" AB-6008 scanners
 that talk to our installed base of Allen-Bradley PLC5 plc's to 
 1785-ENET ethernet modules.
