ControlLogix PLC to Foxboro/Honeywell DCS Interface

[samipati3]

Thanks for all your replies.
I am currently working on a project where we decided to interface ControlLogix with Foxboro using the 1756-DHRIO and 1770-KF2 module.
I have done the ControlLogix to PLC-5 mapping, the network connections seem to be ok but the DCS guy says that he cannot read data from the ControlLogix.
The DCS should be seeing the ControlLogix as a PLC-5 but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Has anyone used this method to interface between ControlLogix and Foxboro?
We also have a PLC-5/40 on the same DH+ network. So what is being done right now is that all data from the ControlLogix is being transferred to the PLC-5/40 (through the 1756-DHRIO module) using MSG instructions. The DCS then accesses the data from the PLC-5/40.
Any suggestions?

Hey Ashley,
I'm going through same situation. Did you get any success?

I am currently accessing a CLX PLC to Foxboro DCS via Modbus, it works great, no need for a KF-2, faster too. Just need an FBM-225 and be at I/A version 7.1 or higher

I have used the FBM233 to communicate to ControlLogix over Ethernet (using CIP). This became a standard offering at Foxboro I/A version 8.4.1 but was around before that as special order. If you have access to Foxboro documentation, this offering is covered in detail in B0700BU. At the site I work at, we have about 6 FBM233 talking to approximately 12-13 ControlLogix processsors. This method of communication is significantly better than the options that were available in the past.

Raintone, can you send me a diagram of how you connected your HPM to ControlLogix?
