Adding a Turck IO Link to a Micro800 PLC over Modbus TCP

[@Lachlan.Wright]

Hey Tim, I'm looking to buy your PLC Tools SIM-ALP2 - but I live Australia. What is the easiest way for me to get my hands on one?

[@TimWilborne]

They are only available in the USA

Tim, I am trying to follow along with this method, but with connecting to a 440C-CR30. Do you think you might be able to help with this?

[@TimWilborne]

This isn't possible with the 440C-CR30. It is more of a configurable safety relay, not a PLC.

@TimWilborne I came to the conclusion that I couldn't connect to it with modbus tcp. You can only seem to do it with modbus rtu and serial com port. I am currently using explicit messaging for my communication between my micro 820's.

Between 2 Micro 800 PLCs, you can do CIP or Modbus TCP. Here are a few videos on that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqipZ6Oef9aIpKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXVaKdmfJiDmpI
