I have a new project that is replacing the PLC-5/30 CPU with a 1771-ASB and ControlLogix CPU.
This line is all blue-hose comms to 5 racks and the HMI, however a new computer for the HMI required a CLX rack with DHRIO and Ethernet cards - no CPU.
Per a programmer called in for this old line a -L73 CLX can be put in the rack, and the PLC-5 replaced with an ASB module.
I have RSLogix 5 Pro V8, RSLogix5000 Full V20 (which will program a -L73, check first) and have Rockwells free conversion utility.
My fear is that I don't know how to setup the CLX to ASB communications.
Is this something that is easily figured out, or will I require bringing in an experienced programmer for this part?
I haven't told the boss yet I can do this.
