Setting up the Productivity 3000 to communicate over Ethernet/IP with Acromag XT1112 was a little tricky. The XT1112 manual doesn't use all the same terminology as Productivity Suite, and Productivity Suite adds a header that XT1112 doesn't account for. Also the XT1112 requires a Config Data path with a byte value of 0 to be sent (else get an "invalid segment in path " error), although the manual does not actually say this. I hope this helps someone; After much fussing around, here are the settings I found to work: { "alt ": "Click image for larger version Name:\txt1.PNG Views:\t1 Size:\t67.0 KB ID:\t113614 ", "data-align ": "none ", "data-attachmentid ": "113614 ", "data-size ": "full "} { "alt ": "Click image for larger version Name:\txt2.PNG Views:\t1 Size:\t17.9 KB ID:\t113612 ", "data-align ": "none ", "data-attachmentid ": "113612 ", "data-size ": "full "} { "alt ": "Click image for larger version Name:\txt3.PNG Views:\t2 Size:\t16.6 KB ID:\t113615 ", "data-align ": "none ", "data-attachmentid ": "113615 ", "data-size ": "full "}

    Good info to have.

    Just a question, does the Acromag require the Delivery Option to be Multicast, or will Unicast work as well?

    It is my lament of many a manual for devices using EtherNet. I had a Cognex barcode reader, whose manual was great, if I was using an A-B PLC.

    At least, the latest version of the P-suite can import EDS files.

    Hi, sorry, I just now saw your question. Yes, it works in Unicast. I just now tested it.
