Hello,
I have an application where a customer has the following on a DH+ network:
1. Two SLC 504's
2. One Panelview 550 (<-- Smashed. Broken. Busted. DH+ cable hanging out the back)
3. One Windows XP machine with PCI dh+ card running InTouch.
They recently purchased a new system that utilizes an Allen Bradley L32E processor that has Ethernet I/P connectivity on it. They ran Ethernet cables to the panel with the PV550 in it, then realized there is no way to connect it to the SCADA system to be viewed by InTouch.
What is the simplest means of getting data out of the L32 and into the DH+ network to be monitored by the WW Application?
Anyone have experience with ProSoft's AN-X2-AB-DHRIO which will do DHRIO or DH+? It would be pretty simple to drop this gateway into the panel, and connect the DH+ hose that was going to the PV550 to the GW instead.
Other than dropping in a CL rack with a DHRIO card and an ENBT, what are my cheaper options until the plant upgrades the DH+ to full Ethernet?
