I have 68 micrologix 1000's that I need to network to a slc=503.
If I use DH485 and net-aic's for this I only have 32 nodes available.
If I use D-net I have 64 (I think). I was wondering if you guys have any good ideas. I thought about using a ethernet EIN at each drop but they cost $572.00 each, (or $38,896.00)!. The 1761-net-din is $219.00 each ($14,892.00) and should provide several words of data into and out of the micros, however I still need 68 (or more) nodes. I was wondering if you could set up 2 device net networks on the same SLC-503, then this would free up my DH485 for an office computer on this network. The next stage will be to add an office computer to monitor and adjust these micros, most likely RSVIEWS. Any ideas? Maybe another company makes something compatible to an AB EIN module?
Maybe you guys have something much better in mind. Thanks..
