Yaskawa Motoman DX200 PLC Ethernet/IP

[JimEDI]

I am almost certain the answer is no, but maybe someone can provide insight or point me in the right direction.

I have a Yaskawa Motoman robot with a DX200 controller which has a built in PLC and Ethernet/IP for communicating with remote I/O.  I would like to develop a PC based HMI.  From what I have seen here (and correct me if I am wrong) AdvancedHMI may not be able to help me with that (It seems to only work for specific PLCs). 

Is there any way I can use AdvancedHMIs code to develop this myself (I think the answer is no).

Does anyone have insight on setting up a PC as an Ethernet/IP adapter so it can send and receive I/O over Ethernet? 

Thanks.

The AdvancedHMI driver does not support implicit IO (class 1) which would be required to establish a connection to an Ethernet/IP adapter.

You would need to start with something like this:

Do this does require a rather extensive knowledge of the CIP and Ethernet/IP protocol.
