Product Overview

The Rockwell Allen-Bradley Micro800 Ethernet driver works in conjunction with TOP Server to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Allen-Bradley Micro800 series control systems using the Allen-Bradley Ethernet/IP (CIP) protocol.

Advanced features such as CIP watchdog, native/symbol tagnames and advanced addressing support allow the driver to integrate Micro800 series systems controlling a range of applications such as conveyors, cutting, material handling, sorting, packaging, solar panel positioning and vertical form/fill/seal. The Micro800 Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded high-performance driver for simultaneous communication with multiple channels with multiple PLCs using multiple channels.

This driver does not require a Rockwell Automation RSLinx license and is available in the following TOP Server driver suites: TOP Server Allen-Bradley Suite, TOP Server Manufacturing Suite.

Overall very satisfied with the driver. Had some initial configuration questions but support walked me through it. Once configured, it's been running smoothly for 3 months without issues. Would give 5 stars if the initial setup was more intuitive.
