Hello, I'm working on a replacement robot project and it goes into a level I haven't done before. I have a new ABB robot with a IRC5 Controller that was built a month ago, brand spanking new. I got it with a Ethernet I/P Slave card (optional unlike the LAN that comes equipped), and it also comes equipped with 2 channel Devicenet. (The Devicenet I'm trying to avoid)
I was going to hook up my 1761-L16BBB ML1100 controller ethenet port to the IRC5 Ethernet I/P port and the COMM port on the ML1100 to a 1761-NET-AIC VIA a 1761-CBL-AP00 cable. This NET-AIC will be communicating on my DH-485 Network to two other SLC 5/03 systems. My goal is to create a PLC bridge between my old systems and the new robot using block transfer's inside the ML1100 to send/receive data packets. (None of which are a timely manner or safety, just go here, done that signals)
Am I doing this the right way? If I am, please can someone tell me the correct way to set the ML1100 up as Ethernet I/P to talk with the IRC5 Slave I/P? I do know how to set up the DH485 side, I just need help on the Ethenet side.
