Hi there.
I'm looking to find some solutions to poll our PLC5 in the field via Ethernet.
Currently, I have two half-made solutions.
Solution #1:
Connect PLC5 to DHRIO card of ControlLogix and ENBT to SCADA system
Solution #2:
Connect PLC5 to Equustek7000 device and EQ7000 to SCADA
Both solutions don't account for protocol handling on the SCADA side, would I have to setup up multihop messaging for the solution #1 to work?
How does solution #2 account for the protocol handling?
In both cases, I can get RSLinx to find the PLC5, however, I cannot poll it into our SCADA system.
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting everything. Essentially, I understand the physical medium changes, but how does layer3/4 get taken care of (if we use the OSI 7 layer model).
Thanks for any help that you may have!
