We are planning to connect the **LK-G5001** sensor to our **Ignition SCADA system**. As the sensor supports **EtherNet/IP** communication, we would like to know if it is possible to read the controller values and display them directly in Ignition.

Currently, we do **not have a Keyence-specific EtherNet/IP driver** in Ignition. Could you please advise:

1. **What drivers are required** to establish communication between the LK-G5001 and Ignition SCADA?

As of April 15, 2023, this is now a Production Release. The primary new feature is its new Generic EtherNet/IP Client Driver, a drop-in replacement for IA's Logix V21+ driver and its Omron NJ/NX driver. It does work with older Logix processors, and also works with Rockwell's MicroLogix 8xx family (ethernet…

Yes, my driver's scanner+adapter option is required for these. And for most Keyence devices--they all use a common pattern in their I/O buffers, with minor per-model tweaks. Send the EDS file and the PDF user manual to my sales email address and I'll see what this model needs.
