Hi ,

      Is anybody there to help me out regarding to the communication

 between 1403-NENET & Controllogix PLC. I want to know if we can do the messaging between them if yes what are the setting for that...... Can we use CIP for this?

Thanks

Kamal

What I have been able to find I would say no they cannot communicate over Ethernet, Knowledge base document 26982 states that the NENET only supports CSP protocol and not CIP.  Also on the description in the catalog it only lists PLC-5 & SLC-500 processors. 

Moving to the PowerMonitor 3000 would solve this if it meets the monitoring spec's that you require.

Any idea if a CLX and PMII would talk over DeviceNet?

Knowledgebase document 54797 states:

Can a ControlLogix Processor Communicate to a 1403 Powermonitor II?

Over Ethernet?  No.  ControlLogix supports CIP protocol and the PMII supports only CSP protocol.

Over ControlNet?  No. The PMII does not support ControlNet

Over DeviceNet?  Yes.  A 1403-NDNET DeviceNet Communications card is required.  Note that the 1403-NDNET is no longer being manufactured.

Over Remote I/O?  Yes. A 1403-NSC Communications Card is required.

Over Serial?  Yes.  A 1403-NSC Communications Card is required.

A possible work-around would be to have an SLC or PLC5 processor communicating to the PMII, send message to the ContolLogix processor over DH+/ethernet.
