Hi to all!
I would like to know if it's a good idea to send a photoeye sensor signal from a PLC-5/40E to a SLC 5/05 over ethernet. This signal will increase a counter on the SLC (i.e. the signal I want to use to trigger a counter in a SLC program is wired to a PLC5).
I'm adding a timer on the PLC5 side to hold the signal for 1 sec. but I don't know the frequency of the signal during normal operation, so I think it's not a good idea (however, if that signal is ON for more than 250 msec, a "Jam" is reported).
Anyway, what I don't want is to loose any counts on the SLC side.
Thanx in advance!
