Allen-Bradley TCP/IP driver

Did someone mention my name? :)

I am the author of the Allen Bradley Ethernet Library (ABEL) for Linux. This is an open-source project that allows you to communicate with Allen Bradley Ethernet based PLC-5's from your Linux (or other Unix based) computer. The library includes some basic example applications that work quite well in their own right. The library is fully capable of reading/writing the data table of any Ethernet PLC-5 or SLC5-05 - and the Pyramid is also supported. Other supported functions include creating memory (register space), changing processor modes, querying processor status, and other non-rung editing functions.

This library is available in source-code only format from the following location:
http://home.att.net/~rongage/ab/abplc5v0.1.7.tar.gz

This library is available without cost AND without warranty. Enjoy.

Hi,

is there another download link for this source code?
Thanks

The ABEL library has been off the radar for a very long time. You can try AdvancedHMI. The latest version has a driver for the PLC5.
