Hello all,
I have a MicroLogix 1100 Series B that I am trying to read data from and into a PLC-5/20 Series D Rev A.
I assume this is possible, but I have an additional piece of hardware that might be tripping me up. The 1100 connects via Ethernet to a DataLink GW1000-ABEIP protocol converter. From there, we go DH+ to the PLC-5. This is all existing equipment and wiring and I am really just trying to pull data from the 1100 into the PLC-5. I have not taken a look at the configuration of the GW1000, so I do not know if it has any parameters that would need to be changed in this case.
I configured a MSG instruction in the PLC-5, as follows:
This PLC-5:
Communications Command: PLC-5 Typed Read
Data Table Address: N7:20
Size in Elements: 8
Target Device:
Data Table Address: N7:10
Local Station Address (oct): 7
Local/Remote: Local
The converter is the actual device on the DH+ network (not the 1100) and has DH+ node address 07. Could it be that the PLC-5 cannot "see" through the converter to pull the requested data? Or, do I have my messaging jumbled up somehow?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
