Hi, the Ignition help mention that for a ControlLogix the ControlLogix 5500 connected through 1756-ENET/A or 1756-ENET/B.’ are supported. Is it possible to connect to a GuardLogix5580 (Cat# 1756-L83ES) directly to the ethernet port on the CPU or i one of those Ethernet modules required? ---

Direct connection to the Ethernet port should work. ---

I’ve done a number of projects with these PLCs. Direct connection straight to the ethernet port on the PLC works just fine.
