two panelview600's one micrologix 1500, possible ?

Hello All,

I have a micrologix 1500 PLC and two Panelview600's both DH-485 (2711-T6C5L1 ser.A v4.2).

I was wondering if it is possible to hook both of them up to a micrologix 1500, so one would be in Channel 0 and one would be in Channel 1.

Is it possible ? How is it done ?

Thanks for any input !

Yes,
You could configure both ports for DH485.
Or use one port configured for DH485 and network ML1500 and both PV's together( preferred method IMHO). See PDF's

DH-485 is a network type infrastructure. It can support up to 32 devices.

You would therefore only need to tie up a single channel on the MLX 1500 and set it for DH-485. Each device would have a unique node address which would be a decimal between 0 and 31.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone i will try this next week when i am back at work and let you know how i make out.
