Hello All!! this is my first post on the fourm so if there is any info you need or you think i left out just let me know...i am going to do my best to describe everything....
i am at a site that wants to upgrade their existing plc systems to 1 stand alone control setup. currently they have 4 SLC PLC's (2 5/03, 1 5/01, and as i call them the SLC BRICK) they have a PLC 5/40 and a Micrologix 1200. They want the upgrade to be "painless" (not moviing around alot of wiring) quick and cost eficient. Thinking hard about it and doing as much research i can on ControlLogix i have come up with putting 2 control logix 16mb processors in one chassis, the 1st processor will control the SLC 5/03, 5/01, and the PLC5 via remote i/o by swapping processors with rio modules and a 1756 dh+rio card in the CLX chassis. the other processor will be used to control I/O modules in the same chassis and the micrologix and SLC BRICK well be done away with.
with the analog inputs, the 1756 dh+rio card can recieve and transmit this data?? i assume the is straight forward but i seen a few posts saying it can only handle so much analog data before it maxes out.
also, same for the HMI there is a PV 1400e on DH+, a PV 600 and a PV+ 600... the PV+ can be see via ethernet i assume, but the others can be controled via the 1756 dhrio card??
thanks for your time to read all this!!

ps...any ladder examples for setting up the dh+rio card would be amazing!!
i also have set up a IAB showing how all this would work...i can post if it would help you to understand more
