Lintouch and Ethernet/IP
From LintouchWiki
Felipe: Good Day.
Somebody has worked in the communication with a Controllogix from Allen Bradley, i was reviewing some information on the net and exist a library(That work very well!) called "cell" from rongage (www.rongage.org <http://www.rongage.org>). But i wanna know how can i use a library with lintouch??.
Answer!
Martin: seems that the latest version that is LGPL and thus usable by us is ftp://ftp.rongage.org/pub/cell/cell-v0.0.7e.tar.gz, I have been quickly looking at the set of features, and I think it should be possible to write a lintouch server plugin that uses this library to read/write the data from the PLC. I am not an allen bradley hardware expert, and I don't think we have any hardware from them available, but I can guide anyone willing to write & test the code.
Felipe: I'm working in this! comments to: f.sanchez@blcca.com.ve

Hynek: I've put a skeleton for AB plugin into our repository https://lintouch.org/repos/lintouch/lsp-ab/
The plugin itself is not yet implemented. I'm put there the sources of CELL library (http://rongage.org/cell.php) and the DF1 library (http://www.tuxplc.net/). With CELL library we should be able to connect via TCP and with DF1 via serial.
