Hi,
I am wondering if anyone could help me!!! This may be an obvious question that i am missing the point to but its worth asking.
I am creating a new system using a micrologix 1200 or maybe a slc5/04 both are available if needed.The system is communicating with a platform scale, 3 loss-in-weight feeder and a barcode scanner which all communicate using ASCII protocol.
The question-- is there a way of using different protocols on the same network?
We need to use some sort of a DH485 network using AIC converters which can communicate in ascii but the data acquisition software and pannelveiv we have use a DF1 protocol.
Any help and information on how to do this would be of great use. Are we using the correct converter,protocols ect.
Thanks in advance.
