Does your OPC-UA Device driver for controllogix allow me to bridge through a controllogix backplane from one ENBT to another ENBT and access a processor on that subnet? ie. I’ve got one ENBT in slot 3 with an addy of 130.100.70.70 and I’d like to bridge to an ENBT in slot 0 to access a processor in slot 6 in a remote chassis with an ENBT addy of 172.20.1.184? I tried to configure the driver using a Hostname of 130.100.70.70 and a connection string of 1,[0,2,172.20.1.184,1],6. The device status shows connected, but I can’t browse any tags. ---

I called tech support about this very problem a few months ago and no resolution was found. This is a feature I will need in the next month or so. ---

It currently is not supported, but will be added in the next month. ---

Has this feature been added yet? ---

It is very close for the ControlLogix and CompactLogix processors. Next will be the PLC, SLC and MicroLogix. I’ll keep you posted. ---

Status Update? Otherwise we will need to look into switching back to Kepware for this functionality. ---

Yes, we have bridging to another subnet through a ControlLogix gateway working in-house for ControlLogix, CompactLogix and SLC processors. I’ll be wrapping it up and pushing it out to the beta soon. Tom ---

How about the following route? ethernet 1756-ENBT Controllogix backplane 1756-DHRIO DH+ SLC? We can use RSLinx otherwise I guess Edit: Its possible, I found the answer in the user manual
