PLC Communication with LabVIEW over Ethernet IP

HI ,

Could any one let know if there is any documentation on using Ethernet IP drivers to PLC.

I found this NI's own drivers at

https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/product/ni-industrial-communications-for-ethernet-ip.html

 

would to good to know if there are good open alternatives to this .

 

The only one that was found was on github

ref : https://github.com/sivamgr/LabVIEW_EtherNET_IP

 

however there is minimal documentation to them.

Being a PLC beginner with a descent exposure to LabVIEW would be tricky to use these drivers.

As an ametuer like me , would be great if some one could just let me know how these drivers can be used to control PLC IO's.

 

I am Currently using micrologix 1400 PLC from Allen Bradley

 

Regards,

Sundar.

micrologix 1400 support MODBUS. 

You can go through these links  NI Modbus Library for LabVIEW or you can use DSC.
