Is it possible to Go Online or Download changes to a MicroLogix 1200 that's connected to a Panel View Plus 600 (without unplugging the Panel View Plus 600)?
We've got a MicroLogix 1200 connected to a Panel View Plus 600 via Allen Bradley cable 2711-NC21 (serial to serial). The Panel View Plus has a static IP address assigned to it's Ethernet port.
I am able to talk to the HMI directly via Ethernet (making changes with Factory View) and the HMI is communicating properly to the MicroLogix 1200 via the 2711-NC21 cable.
It would be AWESOME if I could update the MicroLogix 1200 program without having to disconnect the HMI from the MicroLogix's Only serial port. Currently, I have to unplug the serial cable coming from the HMI and plug my laptop directly into the MicroLogix 1200 via serial.
So again.... can RSLinx/RSLogix on my laptop be setup in such a way that it can communicate with the MicroLogix 1200 through the HMI (LAPTOP >> {ETHERNET} >> HMI >> {2711-NC21} >> MICROLOGIX 1200)?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
