I have 4 SLC 504 plc's connected by DH+ and am passing only one word of info per PLC between them using the B60 file.I am have run out of bits to pass from one of the PLC's and need more info from that location. Can I designate another word from this PLC to put on the data hwy?
Thanks Mike
 
Welcome to the Forum !

Please confirm; are you using the "Global Status Word" feature ?

That feature does only "publish" one 16-bit word from each controller onto the DH+ network to be "consumed" by all the other nodes on the network as part of the DH+ token rotation function.

If you need to move more data, you need to implement some peer-to-peer messaging using MSG instructions.
