Going back to a 15 year-old project and upgrading the drives to PowerFlex 525. SLC 5/05 was controlling three non-AB drives with analog (for speed) and digital (for start/stop). The drives run three axes of a machine (so speed of control is important). Control of the three new drives from the SLC 5/05 Ethernet port is proposed. Other items on Ethernet are one Panelview, comm to another SLC 5/05, and one serial to Ethernet module (two lasers with 10 readings per second each).
This would be easily done with Logix, but is this expecting too much of SLC 5/05 Ethernet communications?
Is there some way to analyze this and either conlude that the SLC 5/05 can easily do this or is unlikely to be able to do this over Ethernet?
Thanks in advance for your help.
