TM3BCEIP alternative

[Anonymous user]

With the global shortage of TM3BCEIP is there an alternative way  to manage Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP communication when using TM3 expansion modules in a distributed architecture?

Hi @Anonymous user ,

I believe the easiest solution to replace the TM3BCEIP is to use another PLC M2xx as dummy remote IO so you can still use the TM3 IO modules as we have done in the past before having the Bus Coupler.

Best regards,

Thanks for the response, thought this might be the case.

Alternatively you could use TM5. I Don't know how the situation is on delivery on this product line.

You can configure using the PLC Configurator
