...and Another Thing...

I also have a customer that is prepping for AC FLASH compliance. They are installing interfaces for PLC connection on the outside of the cabs. They have only today, involved me in the process. They have purchased 1747-UIC w/ C13 cables and a cabinet mount jack for connection. The problem is, on two machines with SLC 5/01's, the DH485 (RJ45) jack is already used by an AutomationDirect EZ Touch panel. My question is, does AB make a "splitter" (for lack of a better word) for this situation, so I can be connected to the PLC while the HMI remains connected, all via the RJ45 DH485 jack?
