Hello,
I currently have a Micrologix 1400 PLC connected to PanelView Plus 600 HMI through ethernet, and Ive been asked to connect an additional (existing) PLC to the HMI. The other PLC is a Micrologix 1200 and doesnt have an ethernet connection. It has the circular type RS-232 port. Im wondering if it is possible to convert the RS-232 to an ethernet connection? The Micrologix 1400 and PVP 600 both cnnect to a 4 port switch. Can I also connect the Micrologix 1200 to this switch and use the HMI to control functions on the Micrologix 1200 as well?
additionally, I have a RS232 Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server available and was wondering if this would possibly solve my problem?
