PLCNext communication with Micro850 via ethernet Ip

Hello, people.

I need your help.
I am working with Micro850 (2080-LC50-48QWB) and PLCNext 2152 . And I have been trying to communicate them via Ethernet/IP protocol, however I have not obtained good results. I have the RS Linx Classic, Connected Components Workbench Standard Edition, and other Allen Bradley programs.

Has anyone worked on the communication of these equipments through this protocol?
If so, do I use another program?

Thank you very much for your time.

    Hello,

    To communicate with the AXC F 2152, you will need to use PLCnext Engineer. 

    In PLCnext Engineer the EIP driver is already setup. The data is located in the Plant window (on the left), under PLC. The tag names are EIPD_INPUTS and EIPD_OUTPUTS. All you need to do is link your data that you want to send to the Micro 850 to the EIPD_OUTPUTS array and it will be available on your Micro 850.

    Keep in mind these arrays are in WORDS (16 bits) while the EDS the arrays are in BYTES (8 bits).

    In Connected Components you can import the EDS file in for the device and configure the IP address to match that of the AXC F 2152.

    The EDS file is in the link below.
