Hi! I am about to interconnect two PLC systems VIA an Ethernet connection, and I just wanted to ask if everything about it sounds "right" to everyone.
System #1 - is a CompactLogix L33ER with remote I/O VIA a (Ethernet)1794-AENT and also has a (Ethernet) Panelview, a (Ethernet) VFD and a Ethernet connected server that collects data from it. The IP address of this system is 172.16.10.XXX
System #2 - is a CompactLogix L33ER with remote I/O VIA a (Ethernet)1794-AENT and also has a (Ethernet)Panelview, with no other Ethernet devices. the IP address of this system is 12.4.0.XXX
Since System #2 has the lease amount of devices connected to it, I figured I would change that system to accommodate System #1
Is this as simple as changing the IP address of the L33ER, the Panelview, and the 1794-AENT, to match the first three octets of System #1, as long as I use rslinx and a command prompt "ping" command to make sure the last octet is available? I imagine I have to re-setup panelview communications in FTV studio correct?
then just plug and play?
You guys are the best! :site:
