11-30 Communicating with Devices on an Ethernet Network
Keep in mind these considerations:
• RSLogix programming software on ControlNet and DH+ links cannot
see the controllers on an Ethernet link.
• The RSLinx DDE server on a ControlNet link cannot poll data from
the controllers on an Ethernet link.
• The RSLinx DDE server on a ControlNet link cannot accept
unsolicited data from controllers on an Ethernet link.
• Applications that register themselves as nodes on the RSLinx “Virtual
Link” in workstations on ControlNet cannot accept unsolicited packets
from controllers on Ethernet.
• Applications that register themselves as nodes on the RSLinx “Virtual
Link” in workstations on an Ethernet link cannot accept unsolicited
packets from the controllers on an Ethernet link.
