Hi All, We recently setup an Allen Bradley PowerMonitor 5000 and I'm trying to link it to Ignition over E-IP. We have successfully setup the meter and can communicate via the web based interface included with the meter. I was able to get the device "connected" in the configuration screen using th…

Unless it emulates a Logix PLC very closely the Logix driver isn’t going to work. I’ll see if I can find some documentation about what kind of data it exposes over EtherNet/IP and how it does so… but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Yeah… in theory the data is there and easy to access, but it would require a driver built for these things. Sorry. You can probably get the data via RSLinx OPC server.

Thought I remembered seeing this. :slight_smile: Just starting on doing a similar thing with the PM3000, but I’m going to scrape from the web pages. Had a great start, but accidentally shut down the project before saving it. So much save first, save often. :laughing: I’ll post back here in a bit. …

Here is what I came up with. Don't have any 5000s in house to compare to, so I can't say for sure how much will apply. This will create or update tags as needed. EDIT: reformat for forum def scrape(): from StringIO import StringIO # Set SQLTag Provider and base folder. In this instance all su…

You can Talk to it directly with Modbus TCP. Look page # 121 https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1408-um002_-en-p.pdf

Configure the power monitor as an SLC device and you can read data as registers. IE: The tag Status.General/Bullitin_Number would be N32:0 (N32 being the PCCC File Number for Status.General, listed in the manual). Status.General/Device_Class would be N32:1, etc. So far it has worked for me, I don't…

This device family is now supported by the latest beta release of my EtherNet/IP V2 driver, via CIP generic messaging: [image] Automation Professionals' EtherNet/IP Communication Suite V2 3rd Party Modules Automation Professionals is pleased to announce beta availability …

I know this is an old thread, but wondering if theres any way to do this besides using the above module from Automation Professionals? No offense to them, but just want to make sure I'm presenting the proper info moving forward on this.

This thread seems to be offering you three other options: use RSLinx use the SLC driver use the Modbus driver

Hmmm. I guess I was misunderstanding my reading then. My bad on that one.
