Hi,
We have a site that has ControlLogix, CompactLogix & PV+ as its installed base.
This customer is looking to bring in a machine that has an S7. They have asked if it is possible to integrate this into the exising Rockwell architecture.
I am not sure by how much as yet, perhaps for some basic monitoring of certain elements on the PV+, but perhaps monitoring/interlocking with other plant based on what the machine is doing.
What, if any options are available to acheive this? I know about the ProSoft cards (but have never set one up).
I am not sure if the S7 range supports E/IP of any form?
Would it be possible to add another driver to the PV+ to talk directly to the S7?
Thanks in advance.
