Micrologix 1400 Modbus TCP

Hi, I am New!
I'm designing a PLC system in which a Micrologix 1400 talks

Modbus TCP/IP with three Modbus TCP-capable SCR controllers.
I've never done Ethernet/Modbus TCP communication using the
1400, so I'm asking the following questions: 1. Can I connect the
1400 PLC and the three devices to an Ethernet switch and
con gure Modbus TCP communication from the devices to the
PLC (data collection only) ? The switch will also be connected to
MrPLC Member
0 the customer's DCS, receiving the data from the PLC and the three
1 post devices. 2. Can I connect the Ethernet port on the1400 PLC to the
United States Ethernet switch directly, or do I need some kind of Ethernet
interface, like the 1761-NET-ENI ? 3. The system also includes an
HMI, connected to the 1400 PLC by RS-232 communication. Any
issues with communicating with the HMI and doing Modbus at the
same time? Your help in this matter would be highly appreciated.
Thanks. Ron

You want it when?

I can give you some very quick sketchy answers that others will

hopefully verify (or correct!). I haven't actually done an application

like yours, but I've done a little research on it for proposed projects
that never happened. 1) Yes, you should be able to do this. Modbus
TCP can navigate standard switches. 2) The ML1400 Ethernet port
can be used directly, no need for an interface. 3) The ML1400 can

Hi Raduvalas, I guess, there should be ethernet to modbus TCP

protocol conversion. I am not sure if your PLC can make this
conversion, however, you can also consider using a Ethernet to
Modbus TCP converter which GW-7473 is an ICP DAS USA
product. http://www.icpdas-usa.com/gw_7473.html?r=Kaan Thank
you. Edited 29 Apr 2015 by Emperor

Generally you won't need a message command (MSG) in the

Micrologix. You have correctly set up the Micrologix to use
Modbus/TCP and have assigned the N7 register to act as 'Input
Registers' when the display requests that information.
