multiple serial printers to MicroLogix 1500

Does anyone know how or if multiple serial printers can be connected to one (1) serial port of a MocroLogix 1500 (LRP - the version with 2 serial ports). One port will be used for HMI / programming, and the second port needs to connect to two (2) serial printers.

Is there any kind of port splitter available that will do this (such as one of the ProLinx gateway modules - and which one?), and if so, which port can be used and at what settings?

Thanks,

This sounds like a good application for an RS-232 Smart Switch.

I would hook this up to Channel 1 (the DB9 connector) and reserve Channel 0 for programming.

The wiring, serial speed, and serial framing settings for the port and the switch depend on your printers.
