Hey guys,
A couple of quick questions but first a layout of what I'm working with.
Compactlogix 1769-L37erm controller. The current system we have is a micrologix 1400 that im trying to retrofit. that uses a integer register to hold a sequence number and gets incremented when a step in the sequence is complete. This also has bits to flag the start and end of a batch.
The HMI for the new unit will be Wonderware(Aveva) intouch 2020
1. Is there a better way to do sequences(about 100 sequence shifts max) in studio 5000? (I plan on running V30.11)
2. Should i make the batch portion part of an "Event" routine or just keep everything under a continuous routine like i usually do?
3. Also, I am having a hard time with the prosoft mvi69E-mbs availability. Is there a strong solution for compactlogix-modbus RTU comms out there? Imk aware of the data station, Moxa Gateway, and 1769-sm2(Not sure if this will work)
Here are the requirements
* 100 Commands (About)
* RTU only
* 38400 Baud
* 24 or 12V
*cabinet is small, so size may be an issue
Thank you everyone!
