Working on a project where we would have two pieces of equipment (say A & B) each with a 1769-L30ER and a Panelview Plus 6 600. There is also some shared loading equipment (say C) that would have a 1769-L18 PLC and no HMI.
Can I have the L18 communicate to both Panelviews as well as both PLC's?
The idea would be to have a screen on both HMI's to operate the L18 equipment. This way either equipment A or B could be shut down and A&C or B&C could still run. There would also be messaging (produced/consumed tags?) between the A&C and B&C PLC's.
Is this feasible, or am I asking for trouble here?
