Use CIP Symbolic Client Messaging
Introduction
Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support CIP Symbolic client messaging through the MSG_CIPSYMBOLIC
function block. This feature enables the sending of CIP Symbolic messages through Ethernet or serial cable.
In this chapter, you will learn how to use the function block to send a write instruction from Controller A to Controller B.
Specifically, it shows you how to create a program that will write a value to Controller B’s global variable, UDINT_FromA.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have properly installed revision 4 of Connected Components Workbench.
What You Need
• Connected Components Workbench revision 4 or later
• Firmware revision 4 and later
