Ethernet/IP using native Common Industrial Protocol messaging is the chosen default communications protocol for Allen Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix families of PLCs over Ethernet networks. As a logical step forward but also as a response to many users that have requested Ethernet/IP to be supported by us, we plan to release an upgrade to ScadaMobile by mid January which will add this feature.

EtherNet/IP

I tested the EIP driver and it seems to work fairly well. One feature I'd like to see added is the ability to specify the CPU slot number. Right now it appears to only work in slot 0.
example: cpu_slotnum:="3"

To go a bit further, the ability to provide a true CIP path would be tremendous.

Great product!

controller_slot Attribute

Version 1.3.3, (currently in "pending review" state) already features a controller_slot attribute so you can tell ScadaMobile where to find the CPU. To specify a CPU in slot 2 use:

controller_slot := 2 ;
