Has anyone directly connected to an Allen Bradley 1734-AENTR using the opc-ua browser? I made the connection using the TCP driver and 44818 as the port. It is connected but i am not sure how to pull the values of the I/O.

You won’t be able to connect to this directly, you’ll have to pull the I/O points into a regular Logix processor and access them that way.

edit: or Phil’s driver! 😉

You cannot use the TCP driver. You must use an Ethernet/IP driver. Like [this one](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-ethernetip-class-1-communications). Available for purchase [here](https://www.automation-pros.com/modulesales.html). You can see a sample configuration for a 1734-AENT in this [forum topic](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ethernet-ip-i-o-module/12362/5).

Although I bumped the driver status to “released” with version 1.0.1, I haven’t been publicizing it as I want to finish the configuration pages in the Designer – much easier to use than the gateway web pages.

I announced version 1.0.2 of this driver over in [this topic](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/snappy-user-interfaces-with-the-ethernet-ip-module/12617/5).
