What is the best way to set this up? is there an EtherNet to CNet bridge that can be configured? Do I need to go through RSLinx? If so, how do I set that up in the OPC-UA devices? Thanks, Scott When the post says to "add a Control logix gateway", do they mean that the tags will need to be read into the Control Logix or is there a way to navigate through the gateway to the other devices to pull tags? That would seem like a lot of traffic on the controlnet, so they mean just whatever is on the control logix will get pulled in right? Sorry to ask such simple questions. I don't want to make any painful or expensive mistakes. The link about the connection paths did not work for me. So I think maybe if I had that, it would make more sense to me.

It was in one of the similar posts. Thought maybe I could get a solution there. ---

A ControlLogix chassis that has an Ethernet/IP module and a ControlNet module is sufficient for Ignition to pass through to anything else on the ControlNet side. You don’t even need a processor in that first chassis, just the two comm modules. When connecting from Ignition, give the IP address of the Ethernet/IP module. In the connection path, put `1 CC 2 NN 1 PP`, where “CC” is the slot of the controlnet module paired with that Ethernet/IP module, “NN” is the ControlNet node of the target, and “PP” is the processor slot number in the target. ---

Thanks very much
