Hi Rupy,
Does the PLC have the ability to talk ethernet IP , like the AB stuff does? There will need to be a communications 'something' in the PLC that allows for generic CIP messaging over ethernet/ip. You might already be aware of this, but just having an ethernet jack on a PLC doesn't mean that it can talk ethernet/ip -thats a protocol.
Hi,
I do not know about AB.
Can you share the information that which type of ability the AB PLC have.
Is it a special software or something else.

We have used the micrologix 1100 PLC with great success. It has ethernet/ip protocol built into it and the programming software is free from rockwell. I think the PLC only costs about $700 US. Its been a while, but i think you need to purchase the ethernet/ip option for the robot so that it will talk that language.
Hope this helps -Eric
