Hello,
I am currently trying to use a micrologix 1100 to read data from 7 SLC 5/05's and 3 Control Logix. I am only needing one word from each. They are all on the same network. Currently what i am doing is using the msg fuction in the 1100 and was curious if my configuration should work but i also want to prevent data collisions and network lag. They need to read every few seconds. My current configuration of the msg fuction for one slc is as follows.
Channel: 1 (integral)
500CPU Read
Data Table Address: N40:161
Elements: 1
Message Timeout: 23
Data Table Address: N10:1
Local
Multihop - Yes
MultiHop Tab:
Ip for SLC being Read
I don't know if this will work. I am also not sure how to not congest the network or what to use to limit continuous messaging every time the ladder is run.
I am also assuming i use the PLC5 Read to pull the data from the Control Logix since it uses Tag Names instead of data tables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
