I've been thrust into the world of PLC programming from relatively no experience and am finding myself out of my depth.
I've inherited a MicroLogix 1200 controller connected to a Panelview 300 Micro. My boss want me to get a new PLC, A CompactLogix 5320 L20 to run the Panelview 300M instead and I can't even work out how to connect the two.
The CompactLogix is setup to communicate using DF1 but I suspect the Panelview 300M is using DH-485.
Can anyone give me some advice on where to start? What cables I should use etc?
If anyone can give me a heads-up on how tags from RSLogix 5000 can be assigned/mapped to tags in Panelbuilder 32 to program the Panelview 300M I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Hash.
