I usually come to this forum and find the answers I am looking for by looking at the previous posts, threads etc. Then go away happy.
I seem to be struggling a bit with this one.
I have just added two remote racks off my main control logix rack using enet distributed I/O, rack optimisation etc. This went really well. No problem so far. I calculated the packet interval into this module from the other remote modules at 2000pps. (Slot 1 main rack)
Now my electrical colleague thinks he is getting the hang of this, by planning some extra racks! What are the limitations?
I understand that the 1756 ENBT can handle 5000pps, (leaving some spare as suggested) but say I add another 1765 ENBT in (Slot 2 main rack) and hang another couple of racks off this?!? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the backplane can only handle so much data. Where can I find this info?
Thanks
Ben
