Hi folks. I have a question when networking 2 or more PLCs on how to share variables. The PLCs are M241 or M251 and connected via ethernet with each other. The programming software is of course SoMachine 4.1.
Anybody who can put me in the right direction please?

Thank you already.
 
Hi,

You can use the NVL concept to share data between M241 and M251. Please read more about NVL on the SoMachine Online Help File.

Attached is a picture of the help file location and a picture of what it looks like in SoMachine. It is very easy to set up.

NOTE: Only use for sharing/monitoring non critical data

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
