Seeking guidance.......:geek:
Have a system SLC504 channel 0 is talking with Ronan annunciator.
Before migrate the SLC to Controllogix L71, want to find is it possible for L71 channel 0 with 1747-UIC converter talk to Ronan annunciator? Refer screen shot program for detail.

Thank you.
 
That is a very interesting challenge !

The 1747-UIC definitely will not be involved. The USB side of that device can only plug into a Windows computer, and the 1756-L71 has neither the correct physical, electrical, or logical ability to use the 1747-UIC.

The screenshots that ctsoft attached show an MSG instruction configured for Channel 0 of the SLC controller, sending a "485 CIF Write" of 22 words in length to the B3:0 data table of a controller at Node 9.

Ctsoft, do you know if that Ronan display uses DF1 protocol or DH485 protocol ?

Is there an RS-232 to RS-485 physical adapter anywhere in place ?

It's possible that a networked device might work for this interface, or a chassis-based module like the 1756-DH485 might be necessary.
 
Hello Ken, appreciate your reply and help.

Seem it used DF1 protocol talk to Ronan. Refer attached file.

There is not physical adapter RS232 to RS485 in between SLC and Ronan.

Any recommendation beside add on additional 1756-DH485? On my new

controllogix hardware architecture I do have 1756-EN2T, can i make use of

this module talk to Ronan?

thank you.
