Hello PLC ninjas:
To get a better understanding of my question, here is the layout I'm working with.
We have two remote pump stations with 1 MDS 900 MHz serial radio and 1 MicroLogix 1100 each. To grab information from both pump stations at the main water station, we have a SCADA PC running Wonderware 10.1 with ArchestrA and another MDS 900 MHz radio.
So, initially I had spec'd a MicroLogix 1400 PLC at the main station for communications, but it turns out our budget is too low...so, the ML 1400 was removed with the belief that Wonderware was capable of talking to the two ML 1100's directly.
I'm trying to find any information on how I would go about this, but not having much luck. Has anyone ever heard of doing this?
Thanks!
