There's a Micrologix 1400 PLC that needs to be connected to PV550 (not purchased yet). Micrologix 1400 Ch0 has an isolated DH485 on RS485. PV550 has an option of using isolated DH485 on RS485 as well (2711-T6C2L1). And, of course, both will need to be programmed, and perhaps monitored as an option. Micrologix 1400 manual (pg. 83) suggests using a Typical 3-Node Network, which is non-expendable.
My questions are:
1)Can Ch0 of the PLC be directly connected to the PV550 (2711-T5A2L1, without AIC+) and to PC through AIC+, creating RS485 network, which can be further expendable?
2)Can Ch2 of the PLC be configured for a Pass-Through to Ch0, for PC to program all devices on the network through Ch2, as it is in DH+ in SLC5/04?
Thank you
