I have a network using a ML1200 connected to a 1761-NET-AIC module, a GE Quickpanel JR connected to the Pheonix Contact bus on the AIC module via 4 wires, and a PC connected to the RS-232 port of the AIC module for programming.
I would like to read data from a SLC 5/01, via DH-485 connection.
From the typical drawings that I see in the AIC manual, I need to use the 1747-AIC modules anywhere that there is a DH-485 connection to the trunkline.
Can I not just directly connect a RJ-485 connector from the SLC 5/01 DH-485 port to the Pheonix Contact connector that the Quickpanel is connected to?
Is the only purpose of this 1747-AIC module to ISOLATE the PLC's?
Any help would be appreciated,
