Hello Everybody,
I have searched through the forums before posting, but maybe I missed this.
I am trying to figure out how to link a panelview plus 600 to a controllogix 1756 system.
I have never used a controllogix before, the PLCs I had used were SLCs and I had never needed to connect up to a panelview HMI. I've used other PLCs and other HMIs, mostly Siemens.
The guy who quit before I started working here had used this for a project but he deleted all of the project files and emptied it out.
The software I have is RSLogix 500 and 5000, RSview ME Station and RSView Studio, RSLinx Classic, and Factory Talk.
The Controllogix has a 1756-ENBT A communications card. I believe based on the electrician that he had the HMI connected to the controllogix through ethernet directly. It looks like the IPs of both of them are setup.
I am able to connect to the Controllogix and create stuff and upload it. I was able to also create some screens and upload it to the HMI, but I'm not sure how to link the two together.
What I wanted to do with the HMI was to monitor some of the inputs and some internal bits. I wouldn't require an HMI for what I'm trying to do, but since I have it, I would like to use it if I could figure it out.
If anybody can give me some advice on what steps I need to take to link these two, or how I should be hooking it up and what I need to do that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
