I have In-Line Checkweighers that I need to connect to from Mettler Toledo and they have ethernet/IP fieldbus module installed on them. What driver can I use to connect to them? Does anyone have experience connecting to other devices with the same setup or other forums posts or pointers they can provide that might help? ---

@pturmel's driver would probably do the trick. > [@Ethernet/IP I/O Module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ethernet-ip-i-o-module/12362): > > Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the public beta for its latest module in the showcase: [Ethernet/IP Class 1 Communications](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-ethernetip-class-1-communications):[quote]Provides I/O Scanning and I/O Emulation on top of partial emulation of a Logix processor (Controller Tags and User-Defined data types).

What are the actual model of these? Do you have user manuals? Phil's driver may work since they have ENIP. Once upon a time there were Mettler-Toledo drivers for IND-XYZ and SICS-compatible stuff, but it was unofficial and fell out of maintenance. I'm curious though because maybe they're worth trying to resurrect or rewrite. ---

Model # is CS3600 XE. Do you think a TCP connection would work? I just found this on the spec sheet as well: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/3/83040b5129fcbffa4839508959f8cd8cc8bc2dc7.png) ---

In that case, I'd say, the standard Ignition TCP driver. Ethernet/IP is a different protocol. Sorry for the false alarm, Phil. 😉 EDIT: IIRC, those were Raw ASCII over Ethernet, right? ---

Hopefully it is just TCP, the rep from Mettler Toledo kept using the phrase EtherNet/IP ---

Looking at the XE manual, it mentions EIP as a fieldbus protocol. Without seeing the actual unit, the EIP interface may be a separate RJ45 connection.
