Communicating with Other PLCs and Devices
You'll learn how to add a modern IO network to a MicroLogix 1400 by configuring EtherNet/IP with an IO-Link module to read sensor and encoder data.
This covers setting up the MSG instruction to read IO-Link assembly data, interpreting sensor and encoder feedback, and combining encoder word data into a long integer to calculate revolutions and RPM, preparing for future PID control.
