Hi Mihajlo, Only the MicroLogix 1400 is listed because that is the only MicroLogix that is still available new for purchase. The serial DF1 driver configured for MicroLogix 1400 will work fine with a MicroLogix 1200 (or any other MicroLogix). Regards, ------------------------------ Mark Tabler ...

Hi Mihajlo, Thank you for your feedback on the updated UDFB! You make a valid point about vibration and the relay module optical bus, and I would offer that using DIN rail end anchors, like the Allen-Bradley 1492-EAJ35, is essential for these relay installations.

Hi Mihajlo, The taps that you have installed need to be entered as Initial Values into the DG1GuardLinkIDArray. I show an example below of four different taps installed. These four taps are the only taps currently supported in the UDFB. I am investigating adding the additional taps and 440G-MZ catalog ...

Hi Mihajlo, Unlike with POINT I/O, the 440R-ENETR Generic Device configuration is always the same, no matter what relays are connected to it. To begin with, try just configurating the UDFB with a single DG relay and no GuardLink devices and see if that works. Regards, ------------------------------ ...

Hello Mark, The fact that the write data is getting to the device and yet the message instruction is erroring out with error code 55 tells me that the Micro800 is not properly receiving the reply.
