Re: ethernet IP

[John Sinclair <sinclairjw@ornl.gov>]

Thanks for the info James. I should have been a bit more specific however...

We are using controlLogix processors, such as the  5561 PLC, with Kay's 
software. This
requires a chassis, PLC, and communication module (e.g. the 1756-ENBT). 
The compactLogix
platform is a potentially rackless configuration which, for a small 
application, would
require only an external power supply and a compactLogix PLC (with 
built-in ethernet port).
This translates to half the cost of a controlLogix system.

So I'm wondering if anyone has used any of the complactLogix family of 
processors with Kay's software.
