Description

Beckhoff PC uses software to communicate with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix or ControlLogix. The software is called TwinCAT EthernetIP Slave. Without this software, Allen-Bradley can not get Beckhoff PC’s information. However, I could not find any document on how to check it. With help from Beckhoff technical support, I figured it out and wanted to show it here.
