I have read the various threads on ControlLogix to Quickpanel communications, but unfortunately I have not been able to make my current configuration work.
I have 4 ControlLogix chassis (A, B, C, and D)communicating over ControlNet. A and B contain the redundant ControlLogix PLCs, SRMs, and the ControlNet modules. C contains a ControlNet module and a DHRIO module. D contains the ControlNet module and regular I/O modules. Everything except the Quickpanel is communicating normally.
Using channel A of the DHRIO module, I am trying use DH+ to communicate with a Quickpanel. The biggest problem I am having is getting the Quickpanel to communicate with the PLC. It seems like the Quickpanel 'sees' the DHRIO, and the DHRIO 'sees' the Quickpanel. However, I can not seem to get the DHRIO routing table correct to have channel A of the DHRIO 'point' directly at the processor.
My main question is has anyone successfully implemented a system similar to this one? Any insight would be appreciated?
Thank you in advance for your time.
