Hi,
I a have a project in which I need to communicate an Allen Bradley PV600 with a servo controller AB-Ultra 100 Series Drive to allow the operator programing positions and speed of 2 axis in the machine according to a catalog number.
Tha attached file will help you see the current configuration and the dashed lines the 2 options I have: HMI-drive,via PLC or direct.
PLC is a SCL5/04 and is connected also to a PC via the RS232 port (configured Ascii) to control a labeling machine. PLC is also connected to the PV600 via 1 of the DH+ ports, the other one is free.
The serial interface of the servo drive uses the standard NRZ asynchronous serial format, and supports both the RS-232 and the four wire RS-485 communications standards.
Does anyone know if there is a way to interface this standard RS-232 port to any of the communication ports available in the SCL5/04???
Does it sounds as a feasible approach or do you recommend other way?...maybe with additional HW.
Many thanks!
