I am replacing a triple 1747 SLC control system, with a single CompactLogix L36.
I tried connecting the L36, with ITS SDN adapter, to the DNet and uploading. I could see nothing but the adapter in RSNetworx, and had to connect the 1747s up again for production. Yes, I have the appropriate resistors on the 1769-SDN, and am using the existing power supply from the existing network - essentially just taking the Phoenix plug out of the 1747-SDN and connecting it to the 1769-SDN.
It is difficult to budget time to take the machine down to connect to DNet.
Can I connect the new SDN as a slave node, and try uploading again, or conversely, using the new SDN as an adapter to "get on" the Devicenet as would the 1770-KFD or the 1784-U2DN? i.e. PC with RSNetworx to L36 (Ethernet or USB, both work) through the 1769-SDN to the DeviceNet, and upload the 1747-SDN through that?
