Hi,
Is it possible to get Allen Bradley PLC5 main rack I/O into a Siemens PLC?
I have previously done PLC5 to ControlLogix conversions where I have tested the conversion by removing the PLC5 PLC module and replacing it with an ASB, I then used a ControlLogic DH+/RIO card to collect the main rack I/O which I mapped into the ControlLogix. This allowed me to test the conversion without changing the I/O rack and gave me a quick fall back position as I could simply put the PLC5 processor back into the main rack at the end of testing.
I was wondering if anything like this was possible for a Siemens processor?
I'm not aware of anything that would be able to read the main rack I/O or any other racks on RIO ?
