Hi,
I’m working with a Jetson Nano and using Allen-Bradley RSLogix 500 for PLC programming I want to send PLC data with the Jetson Nano over EtherNet/IP. What is the best way to establish communication between the Jetson Nano and the PLC
I know nothing about that hardware, but did a Google search. It seems the software from RSLogix is proprietary Windows-only, but some other searches indicated there might be some open source software which could substitute (this search was just for Linux as a whole, not specifically for the ARMv8-a/arm64 architecture). I know nothing about it but one mentioned software was OpenPLC as a possibility. I don’t see that available through the standard “apt search” mechanism, and so I’m guessing you’d have to experiment by going to the OpenPLC web pages. If OpenPLC is not available for 64-bit ARM architecture, then it means you’d have to compile it from source. There is no guarantee that even if you compile it from source that it will work for your PLC. I am guessing that RSLogix probably does not support Linux at all, but you might want to ask them anyway. Otherwise you’re down to a Windows VM, and that VM would also be 64-bit ARM, so their software would have to support 64-bit ARM in Windows even if you do use a VM.
