Rockwell Logix MSG instruction to IAP

I have an IAP connected to a SLC 5/05 DF1 port. It’s communicating fine via RS Linx. I seem to be having a problem initiating comms to the SLC via a MSG instruction in the Logix processor. I assume I want to do an SLC typed read. Then I have the CIP or CIP With Source ID. The latter has the following parameters:

  • Source Link
  • Destination Link
  • Destination Node

As far as the Digi is concerned I see that there are Destination Tables to route packets. I believe I’ve used these to connect the SLC to others by by putting the destination PLC’s host name in and setting it up here.

How should I set this up or where can I look for more information. Thanks.
