Hello Guys,
From what I research, the RS emulate 5000 basically only has 3 module, the RSLinx module, Emulator, and IO simulator. The OPC is the only way to communicate to other software/device.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there any allen bradley software can emulate specific cards?
2. I remember I read one post, about the "inhibit module". For the Rslogix program, can I add all the card and use "inhibit module" to simulate the cards? Because if rsemulate 5000 only can work on the controller and a digital IO card, what is the purpose for the emulation?
3. Would if be possible to communicate different emulate controller in different machine? Maybe one of the PLC get data from the OPC server?
I am confuse, it seems the RS emulate 5000 has a lot of limitation, and is function does not look like a emulator if there are only 2 module I can use.
Would any experienced expert can give a little bit help here?
Thank you!
