A release to production use is approaching soon and I thought I’d share a test project and its matching PLC code I’ve been using to exercise the module’s base features. In the simplest setup, this driver presents a virtual I/O chassis to to the outside world, populated with up to 100 virtual I/O modules – I/O modules that also appear to be ControlLogix processors with user… > [@Ethernet/IP I/O Module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ethernet-ip-i-o-module/12362): > > Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the public beta for its latest module in the showcase: [Ethernet/IP Class 1 Communications](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-ethernetip-class-1-communications):[quote]Provides I/O Scanning and I/O Emulation on top of partial emulation of a Logix processor (Controller Tags and User-Defined data types). Use robust, low latency UDP packets to communicate with Logix processors as one or more I/O modules (passive slave mode), and with a variety of Ethernet/IP I/O modules as an I/O scanner (active master mode).

The scripting is, unfortunately, somewhat difficult to work with and poorly documented. /: A major upgrade that will simplify your use-case is in the works. I was hoping to release a beta in Q1, but that plan hit some rocks. (A refactoring of +42k -25k LOC, so far.) The refactor is to support a whole bunch of client features, including class/instance/attribute access. I'm regression testing a big chunk of it right now.
