Hi,
I have encountered the same issue. Did you find the solution ?
Thanks you
It's been long since I looked at that and I'm not working with it any longer, but for sure I got it all working. The Tolomatic driver is open source for reference. Take a look at that.

Thank you for your answer. I am looking for using this package for a PLC motor driver (Kollmorgen AKDP00306). And I have encountered the same issue as you did. If you have any Leads for this issue I would be glad to hear it.
I would base your design off the Tolomatic implementation https://github.com/ros-industrial/tolomatic rather than the Omron implementation.
The Omron implementation had issues (UDP port mgmt) with unsolicited messaging, so in the Tolomatic implementation, I stripped out all the unsolicited messaging and strictly used solicited messaging.
Also, keep in mind that this implementation is designed for use with ROS messaging,meaning that an IPC running ROS is acting like a PLC to control the motor. So if you're using a PLC to control the motor, I'm not sure any of this makes sense.
Also, the interface is very specific for the device EIP interface, so you'll need to look at your Kollmorgen EIP object definitions and design to that.

Thank you for your help. I will look into it and see if I can link the PLC to ros.
If you want to make ROS talk to a PLC using EIP, then the odva_ethernetip project isn't what you want.
Fo that I think there are other options:
Or don't use Ethernet/IP at all and use OPC-UA.

I'm trying to make an IO scanner interface for Tolomatic stepper controllers. Following the omron_os32c_driver as an example only gets me so far (see output below). Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill
