We are currently working on an integration project involving two machines, both supplied by different OEMs. One machine uses a Schneider Electric LMC402C PLC, and the other uses a Keyence KV-8000 PLC with a KV-XLE02 EtherNet/IP communication module.
We would like to establish communication between these two PLCs using EtherNet/IP. Our intention is to configure the LMC402C as the master (scanner) and the Keyence KV-8000 as the slave (adapter).
Could you please advise on the following:
We would greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us move forward with this integration.

Hello @Kar2025
Mainly, the Keyence EDS file needs to be added to the Device Library on Machine Expert. After that, you can add under the Ethernet/IP scanner.
You can find a How to add EDS file example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqWXSPK1dME
I downloaded the eds file from: https://marketplace.odva.org/products/1896-kv-xle02
After adding it to the Device Library, it can be attached to the Ethernet/IP scanner on LMC:
Of course, this is only the initial step. Further device-related configuration must be done.
