Hi all,
I am building a library to support a servo motor through Ethernet/IP. All is generally going well but I would like to keep it as simple as possible and as such looking at the Schneider implementation of their motors. In this case lets look at the Lexium ILA.
When the Lexium ILA is added to to the Industrial Ethernet Manager it shows up with 2 variables under the I/O mapping.
- FB_ILAEthernetIP
- FB_RemoteAdapter
It appears the FB_ILAEthernetIP handles all mapping of IO and it can be directly used as the AXIS_REF to all MC PLCopen function blocks.
When we add our device it only shows up with the FB_RemoteAdapter.
We can easily map the IO and through our library have built most of the PLCopen motion control functions but I would like to know how and if is is possible to create a custom IEC Object that can be directly referenced in the same manner as the Lexium ILA.
Thanks
Mark
