Hey people,
Just wondering if anyone has run across this issue and if there is a solution.
Here is the situation. I have a program that has a 1756-L81 controller and it will be used as such later. (V30)
I have an I/O rack I need to test and there are about 100 IO modules. I do not have the L81 Controller but I have a spare 1756-L74. I want to test the IO using the L74. The L81 has an Ethernet Port which the program is not using. The L74 does not have an Ethernet Port.
Is there any way to switch the controller type from L81 to L74? The program does not want to do it natively I think because of the ethernet port issue.
L5X editing?
What I am looking at doing is exporting the IO - and the program, and importing into a new blank project with an L74 in it - although not perfect and time consuming I think it will work.
