Hey guys!
I've decided to have a little fun with some Allen-Bradley hardware (you all know the story by now). I figured that since it ain't broke, I haven't learned anything yet. I want to try setting up a Remote I/O passthru to program my Panelview 1400e from the ethernet (or serial if I have to) port of a SLC 5/05.
First of all: can this be done? I could be misreading the documentation, but it seems like this should be possible.
Second: do you have any pointers on doing this? I think I've got the Panelview application configured properly, but I haven't figured out what I need to do in the SLC. Of course, if there's a problem I'm not going to have a CLUE whether it's in the Panelview or the SLC because neither one of them has ever been set up to do this before!
Third: In the recent thread about laptops, someone mentioned an Etch-a-Sketch. Do you think anyone would notice if I replaced the Panelview with an Etch-a-Sketch? Has anyone ever successfully interfaced a SLC with one of these before?
