EtherNet/IP and SMS Text Messaging
The ICX35-HWC provides connectivity via the EtherNet/IP communications protocol
as a Class 3 client. With this connectivity, PLC and SCADA software can monitor the
diagnostics of the ICX35-HWC.
The ICX35-HWC Add-On Instruction (AOI) file for RSLogix 5000 supports the
following features:
ICX35-HWC diagnostic data retrieval
ICX35-HWC diagnostic counter reset
Receiving SMS text message from the ICX35-HWC
Sending SMS text message to the ICX35-HWC
Example application: The ICX35-HWC can be installed in a remote location with its
LAN directly connected to a PLC. The PLC code can monitor the values and if/when
a value is out of range, and SMS message is sent to a user via the ICX35-HWC. The
user can then send a SMS back to the PLC to clear the notification.
Note:
This chapter uses examples in a ControlLogix environment. It also applies to a CompactLogix
environment, with notes indicating the differences.
