Hello,
I’m currently investigating a new machine design for my company and I am having difficulties finding some information.
I’m aware of the different protocols available for Ethernet, and I know of basic network communications, hand shaking etc.
What I need to know is can you have 2 devices on an Ethernet network, 1 using ModbusTCP/IP, the other Ethernet/IP. I’m going to go with what I THINK and with what seems common sense and say that they are not compatible because of the handshaking and probably the packet construction used for each protocol.
But I may be unaware of a possibility to use the two together. I’m also thinking that would be a module in itself.
Regards,
Michael King
