Hello everyone,
I am relatively new in PLCs. I have 2 PLC trainers (one having Micrologix 1200 series A and the other Micrologix 1200 series C). I have a RS 232 cable for each trainer to its corresponding PC.
Problem: I have to network these two trainers using a single workstation. The softwares I have are RSLogix 500 and RSLinx. When I open RSWho, I see AB_DF1-1, DH485 as network name. Its properties: AB_DF1-1 as device name and device SLC-CH0\Micro\PanelView with full duplex protocol.
What should I do or buy to network these two trainers, I am looking for the cost-effective solution. I have visited the Allen-Bradley website and am lost in the manuals section. Again as I told before, I am new to this field.
Regards,
