I am looking at setting up a devicenet network using 15 or more Micrologix plc's.
The plan is to use the 1769-SDN scanners on every MicroLogix. This should give me a huge speed increase over conecting them by the Net-DNI modual(cheaper too). There will one "Master" and the rest will be slaves. I searched the AB website, and there seams to be some Knowlege base documets that support what we are trying to do.
Our sales rep was dropping a PV+400 off, so we asked him if any one else was doing this on DeviceNet. He toldus that a Dnet scanner can not scan anothet Dnet Scanner.
So what I am wondering is this: Has any one else done read and write to other PLC's connect to Devicenet via a Dnet Scanner?
