I'm working on a control system for a test stand that would involve 8 Control Logix racks, 2 Panelview Plus touch screens, and 2 processors.
There will be a master processor that will run the test stand, and the second processor will control a high speed hyraulic load bank. In one mode the hydraulic PLC will accept commands in from analog inputs in its chassis. In the other mode, I wanted the hydraulic PLC to recieve its commands from the main PLC. All of the racks and processors are communicating over Ethernet/IP and I am using ENBT cards.
How should I be setting up the Comm Format in the ENBT configuration? Right now I set all of them to Rack Optimization, even for the remote rack with the hydraulic PLC. Something is wrong because I am not getting any data, and if I set the rack sizes correct in each processor program, I cannot go online with both processors on the network.
