I'm implementing a basic SCADA type comm network on my floor to get production metrics from my PLCs and processes together for reports.
Everythings being converted to ethernet and routed to my server PC
except
the f&*%*#@ DH+ out of my 1 5/04 processor.
I was previously pulling data out of it by carrying a laptop out to the machine and going through a PCMK card.
I've since run a couple Cat5 lines from the machine to my office and configured one cable to basically extend that DH+ port into my office, so I can now get my data without going to the machine.
I want to talk to that 5/04 with my server desktop PC and am just to cheap to justify spending $1600 to $3000 to buy a new comm card for my PC just to talk to this one machine.
How do I use that PCMK card in my desktop???
