Hello and thanks in advance for your help. I have 3 DL06's , 2 with ecom 100s and one with an ecom. I want to read a small amount of data from two of the plcs into one. Do I use the RX command? The module IDs are 1,2, and 3 per Netedit. I want to read V2072-V2074 from #2 and store it in V3000-V3002 in #3. If some one could post an example I would be very grateful. Thanks

It's always better to try it for yourself first. You will learn so much faster (especially if you make then recognize your mistakes.)
The ECOM manual is available here . Chapter 4 has everything you will need. Follow it then check back in with the program you tried (or just to say 'I got it '.)

Use IBoxes & Peer-to-peer tables
If you are using DirectSOFT5, use the ECOM100/ECRX IBoxes (for ECOM100s) and/or NETCFG/NETRX IBoxes (for ECOM). See the DirectSOFT5 Help file for details on these.
Also, in your studying the ECOM100 manual, notice that you can configure the ECOM/ECOM100s with Peer-to-peer tables. If you don't configure Peer-to-peer tables in the ECOM/ECOM100 then they will use broadcasts to talk to each other. This may not be desirable on your network. With Peer-to-peer tables configured, they will use UDP/IP telegrams.

I got it.
Thanks for the help, I just needed a nudge towards the right documentation. I was trying to work from just the 06 manual. Great forum and great folks.
