Must be nice
The first time I had to setup a BTR/BTW with a Panelview I did not have a clue, took me two (2) weeks to get the drift. I managed to do it though.
My point with this post is that back THEN then the NET was not so easily accessible...AB's knowledgebase was not so easily accessed.
For that matter I didnt realize there was a Knowledgebase that could be accessed...not sure there was back then.
I was lucky because the PLC5 being used in the system at that time had a BTR/BTW already being used (for RIO...I think) so I copied it ..kind of. This was many years ago so the details are vague now but I did it and guess what...IF I DID IT BACK THEN WITHOUT AB ANYONE CAN.
Having access to AB Knowledgebase should make it even easier for you...check it out.
NOTE: AB has probably the most informative and extensive KNOWLEDGEBASE of ANY PLC manufacturer.
SIEMENS also has an extensive database/knowledgebase but isnt as EASY to FIND things or access,
Omron falls into same category as Siemens
Automationdirect doesnt really have one...may be because their plc's are simple to use. They do have a decent forum to assist when needed.
GE has an extensive database that is "almost" as easy to access as AB..those dang % things get in the way though. The plc's and associated software has never been easy...to me.
Who else is a MAJOR player in this field?
Mitsubishi: I am not familiar with so wont comment.
Klockner-Moeller...dont make me laff
ABB..dont make me get sick.
