Okay, so we're new here - please break us in slowly!
We are looking at a project involving networking several Compact Logic L32's and several PoerFlex40 inverters. Plus, pulling info. from the drives and PLC's into RSView Factory Talk.
First Question - we know we have to configure the PLC's with an IP address, but typically what range and subnet mask are used or do we just 'pick a number'.
Second Question - Any other tips, as we'll be using RSLogix 5000 to configure, so can we also use RSLogix 5000 to configure the drives or is that another piece of software?
AB haven't been too forthcoming in our 'migration' from RSLogix500 and RSView32!
Thanks very much in advance!!
