SlC I/O on ControlNet

This is an old thread http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=9216&highlight=1747+ControlNet about trying to control 1747 SLC I/O from a ControLogix over ControlNet. My boss is wanting to do the same thing for an upcoming project. I can't get a hold of anyone at RA or my distrubutor to say yes or no. Is the above thread still correct?

Thanks,
Patrick

The answer is still the same: "NO", just read last two posts in the previous topic.

And no plans to do it as far as I know.

SLC I/O form controllogix can be done only via RIO

Thanks Contr_Conn. I did read through the posts, but just wanted to double check seeing how that thread is two years old. And now I can tell my boss that the price of the project just went up.

Thanks again,
Patrick

If I/O already in place, then you can use RIO at about the same price.

I guess you did not try to call techsupport - they are always there...

I did get techsupport, but alas corporate did not renew our service for some reason. Got a 90 trial, but the guy on the phone wasn't much help. As for the RIO...corporate says that is a no-no. ControlNet or EtherNet are the only options for this project. Of course, what they don't know about won't hurt them!

Thanks,
Patrick
