I'm new to the Allen Bradley PLC's, I want to add webserver capability to view tags from the rest of plant, but wanted to know if:
1.) 1756-EWEB can go in any chassis or just the one CPU is located in? Manual seemed to indicate CPU chassis only, but I wasn't sure if that was the case even if chassis have Ethernet 1756-ENBT cards in them already?
2.) If NO to 1, can 1756-EWEB replace the ENBT card & handle communications to slave racks? EWEB would go to a switch. Currently ENBT's go to a switch.
I'd rather not move existing cards around to achieve webserver functionality. There are free slots in 'slave' racks but not in main CPU rack/chassis.
