Ethernet comms with SLC 5/04?

Hi Guys,
Can anyone suggest a way of getting a SLC 5/04 to talk over ethernet? I am installing an Ethernet network for about 10 AB SLCs and Logix 5000 PLCs. I need to add an existing skid onto the network. It has an SLC 5/04 and PV 1000 (2711-T10C8). I thought I could just swap the processor for a 5/05, but the PV can't communicate on serial to Ch 0 of the 5/05. Is there a way of either getting comms between my specific model of PV or of getting the 5/04 onto the ethernet.
Someone has suggested the 1761-NET-EN. Would this work?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi ,
i see only one method for this ,
Add your SLC5/04 to Ethernet by using a 1761-NET-ENI (this is very simple to do),you'll have to use a software " NET CONFIG UTILITY" to coorectly set up your 1761-NET-ENI.To get this software you can take a look at AB.COM web site . so you just have to connect your SLC DF1 port to 1761-Net-ENI DF1 port.

If you change your processor to 5/05 ,it will not be possible to communicate through DF1 port ,because PV serial port is only an auxiliary port used generally for printers(this PV is for DH+ networks).

good luck
 
If on your logix 5000 plcs you mean the control logix system, if any of the racks have 1756-enbt cards (ethernet) i presume they will, you could also fit an 1756-dhrio (datahigh way) this would comm over the dh+ comms on your 5/04. the control logix rack is then used as a gateway.

cheers

Since you now have the 5000, you can also add a DHRIO module in the 5000 rack. This allows you to leave the existing 504s on the DH+ and then you can go online with the 504's over the network.
