How can I create a gateway between RSView (using Ethernet/IP) and my Allen-Bradley / Rockwell PLC (using the DF1 protocol)?

ANSWER

To make it possible for the Allen-Bradley RSView software (which is using the Ethernet IP protocol) to communicate with a DF1 based remote device (such as the Rockwell SLC500, PLC5 or Micrologix), you must disable the “Bridge EIP connection” parameter in the DF1 server configuration web page.

Pay attention that to access those parameters, the COM extension card must already be inserted inside the Flexy.
