Hi everyone...
I'm installing a DH+ network in our Concret Block Plant between four SLC 5/04's and four Panelview 1000's. - or - May choose to connect to a pre-existing DH+ as well. The main purpose of the network is to bring plant floor data into the office by utilizing RSLinx and DDE hotlinks in Excel. I was going to daisy chain each devise but I'm wondering if I could group certain nodes. Currently Each SLC is connected to a Panelview. The plan was to wire from the office PC to the first SLC, then to it's panelview...to the next SLC and so on.
(Office PC)---(SLC1)---(PV1)---(SLC2)---(PV2)---(SLC3)---(PV3)---
----(SLC4)---(PV4)---end
I was wondering if I could group nodes together by daisy chaining only the SLC's together.
(Office PC)---(SLC1)---(SLC2)---(SLC3)---(SLC4)---END of network

On the subject of connecting to an existing DH+ as well...
We have a SLC 5/02 connected to a seperate Rack for Remote I/O using a 1747 SN module in each rack.
QUESTION:
Can we tie into that DH+ as well, or does Remote I/O prevent that?
ALSO*** I'd like to connect my office PC to the SLC 5/02 via A Serial cable. This would avert me the cost for a PKTX Card. Will pluging into the SLC here be feasible as well.
Thanks in advance.
SOOP!
