Hi Folks,
I have a machine with a SLC 5/03 16K and it is basically out of memory. I still need to add to the ladder logic as I am integrating this machine with two robotic transfer machines.
The dilemma which I have is that I am currently using both ports on the SLC 5/03 and by going to a 5/04 32K CPU I will end up with a DH+ port which I have no real use for and I will loose my DH485 port.
Currently The RS 232 port (port 0) is talking to 3 Delta motion controllers (DF-1) "I think" via RS232-RS485 converter. And the DH 485 port (port 1) is talking to a Automation Direct 'EZ Touch" Touch Screen via 1747-AIC module.
I gan get DH+ card for the touch screen for around $1000,
I can get Ethernet cards for the 3 Delta Motion controllers for about $3000 ( requiring a SLC 5/05)
Or I can sit down for about a week and rewrite the previous dudes program hoping to save at least 1 - 2 K of memory.
Any suggestions
Thanks,
Orn
