Hi,
I have a PLC5/40E talking to a FBM232. It's called a custom image from
Foxboro so of course the price is somewhat higher. It's uses a CSP
(Client Server Protocol) driver. The document I have is DI700BF.

I'm going to take a shot, but I am not our Allen-Bradley guru, so take
it with a grain of salt. If anyone else disagrees, please reply.
I think you must use the serial FBM230 for the PLC-5/40E with DH+.
You can also make the newer ControlLogix PLCs emulate PLC5 back to an
FBM230, but I don't think you can go the way you want to with Ethernet
to a PLC5. You might be able to use an Allen-Bradley bridge (again, I'm
not an AB guru), but I don't see the gain as the FBM230 connection is
more solid than the FBM232 (or the AB PLC Comm modules) in my
experience.

Bothering you gents once again:
I have given up the idea of having one single FBM to communicate with
multiple devices (the idea of having more than one driver image).
I would like to know if I can interface the FBM232 to an A-B PLC-5/40E
using the Ethernet/IP driver.
The PSS says it can interface ControlLogix controllers, but it does
not say whether it supports the PLC-5 Ethernet series or not.
