Hey guys,
I've always believed (maybe I saw it in a brochure long ago) that with AB ControlLogix, you can set up multiple chassis full of I/O cards that all report back to a single processor module via ethernet. For example, let's say I have four racks. Rack 0 is a processor, ethernet module, and various I/O card, while Racks 1-3 have no processor but each has an ethernet module and various I/O cards, and Racks 1-3 all report back to the processor in Rack 0.
However, opening up Logix and trying to set up this topology, I don't really see any way to set up multiple chassis in a single project.
Was wondering if anyone could confirm or dis-confirm what I'm describing, and if it is possible, how would you set it up in Logix?
