Good Morning ,
I think I have upper management convinced to begin replacing our SLC 500 PLC's . It is incredible the increase in price on SLC 500 components . I have struggled for several years , truly understanding how DeviceNet works , how to maintain it , back it up , and restoring it . I was thinking of purchasing a few 8 channel Analog modules but the price jumped up to &2,700 dollars each.
I am not sure what DeviceNet data , scan lists , etc. we have backed up on our machines. What method do you folks suggest using to backup all our DeviceNet systems , and how do we restore if something happens. Do you go thru the Serial port to capture this DeviceNet data. I guess you use Networx / DeviceNet to do everything , correct ?
Thanks so much for advice , like always.
