EtherIP (Rockwell) Writer

General

The EtherIP (Rockwell) module will allow you to write tag values to a compatible Rockwell Automation EtherIP device. This has been tested to work with:

  • 1756-ENET
  • 1756-EN2T

It does require firmware version 18 or greater.

Notes

The output of a pipeline MUST be in an object form. Here is an example of the output you need for writing using this module.

{
  "Test_Tag_1": 1,
  "Test_Tag_2": 100,
  "Test_Tag_3": "ABCDEFG",
  "Test_Tag_4": 123.456
}

The tags will be written sequentially in the order they appear in the object. In the above example, Test_Tag_1 will always be written before Test_Tag_4
