ALLEN BRADLEY ETHERNET IO 1732E-8X8M12DR

I see that AB has Ethernet IP based IO called the 1732 family.

They are industrial, hardened IO that seem perfect for the shop floor.ds

I'd like to be able to connect these directly to the Kepware Server.

IS THERE A KEPWARE DRIVER THAT CAN TALK DIRECTLY TO AB ETHERNET/IP BASED IO?

Thanks.

Greetings,

 Kepware doesn't have a protocol for it, if it's connected to a CLX/CPX device, then Kepware can access IO that is mapped through that controller, but not the IO modules directly. You may  connect to those IO racks to a CPU that we can talk to, like a CLX. We cannot communicate directly to them.
