Notes
- When a client (such as RSWho) queries the device:
- The slave will appear as an SLC 5/05
- The device name will be:
- Panelxxx
- Where xxx = last octet of the IP address [g3-df1tcps | Word]
Cable Information
- Standard 10‑Base‑T Ethernet cable [g3-df1tcps | Word]
Summary
This driver allows a Crimson-based device to act as a DF1 TCP/IP slave, meaning:
- External devices (PLCs, SCADA, etc.) act as masters/clients
- The Crimson device behaves like an Allen‑Bradley SLC 5/05 target
- Supports standard DF1 read/write operations over Ethernet
👉 Key distinction from DF1 TCP Master:
- Master driver → Crimson initiates communication
- Slave driver → External device initiates communication
This makes the DF1 TCP/IP Slave driver ideal for:
- Integrating Crimson into existing Allen‑Bradley networks
- Allowing PLCs to read/write Crimson tags directly
