KepwareEX connecting to AB Powermonitor 5000

Has anyone tried connecting to the A/B Powermonitor 5000?  The Rockwell manual says we can configure RSLinx as a SLC5/03 as it supports PCCC addressing.  I tried SLC5/05 in KepwareEX and this didn't work.  Neither did the PLC-5 family,  Thanks

Did you end up being able to figure this out? Currently attempting to do the same thing.

 

EDIT: Ended up figuring this out. Utilized the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet Driver, and put the device as a MicroLogix 1100. The table for tag addresses is in 1426-um001_-en-p, Power Monitor 5000 User Manual, Appendix A, starting page 219

It looks like there are two primary ways to communicate with a Powermonitor 5000 device.

Ethernet/IP, and DeviceNet, - We do not have a generic Ethernet/IP driver at this time, or a DeviceNet driver.

A potential work-around would be using our Allen Bradly ControlLogix Unsolicited driver, that can act as a slave to the device.  There may be a way to have the device push/write data to the server. You may need to reach out to Rockwell for assistance with additional device configuration. Here is a link to page in the Rockwell documentation that covers some of the set up:

I don't see the Allen Bradley Control Logix Unsolicited driver.  I have the Manufacturing Suite license under Kepserver 6.10.  Is it called something else?

@KG_9996511,

 

It is called the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Server Ethernet driver in the channel creation window. Here is link to the product page:
