We currently have a system with a PLC5, SLC 5/04, and a panelview standard. They are all currently talking DH+.
We are upgrading the PLC5 to CompactLogix L33ER which no longer supports DH+ or DF1. Does anybody have some advice on how best to have the new CompactLogix and SLC 5/04 communicate.
We have looked at the 1761-NET-ENI, but it is discontinued so our client doesn't want to use it.
Considering the RTA NET-ENI replacement, has anyone had experience?
We thought about upgrading the SLC 5/04 to a 5/05 but this is quite expensive and we would then have to change communication to the HMI.
We are also looking at the Prosoft Ethernet to DH+ gateway but this only allows communication to be initiated from the Ethernet side, and both the SLC and CompactLogix have MSG commands. Our plan of action is to move the SLC's messgae command to the CompactLogix, but this introduces potential problems we would like to avoid.
Thanks for any help!
