Hi, folks!
First post.....
My background is in Mainframe programming (20 years), but PLC programming is a whole 'nother animal, it seems.....
I'm working on a CX-Supervisor project which needs to be capable of addressing up to 32 PLCs (I'm told this IS possible)... A couple of questions here.... 1) How does the PLC program "set" the node number for a given PLC... (Our PLC Programmer uses SYSWIN still, but could be persuaded to use CX-Programmer, I think, if I ask nicely.....)
and 2) What address should my code be looking at to determine which PLC I'm talking to....
Thanks, and please excuse any painfully obvious indications that I'm unfamiliar with PLCs in general....
