I am interested in the capabilities of Micrologix PLCs connected through devicenet to a Contrologix Systems. I assume that the Micrologix program would have to be entered/changed via the programming port, programming would have to be off line, and the program couldn't be monitored over the network. But this seems like a good, cheap possible solution where mostly local "intellegence" could control a machine.
What can the Contrologix system monitor and control over the network? Can input or binary bits be set via the network to create "global/local" control sceneario where the machine operation program could be in the Contrologix (global), or in the Micrologix (local).
I'm just curious how people have used the Micrologix in network control systems. Thanks in advance for any examples of this type of setup.
