Do you use the PLC input or output address as the wire number or do you use the sheet-line number?
The system that I am currently working on is a Logix 5000. I have a customer that is use to the PLC5 world and will not listen to the idea that there are new ways of doing things. I didn't say better I said new. He is going to get what he asked for. I just wonder what other guys do.
I can maybe see on a small machine with a few slots of I/O using the I/O address but on the RS5K world we have local addressing of L:3:O.D.09 and remote I/O addressing of R1:1:I.Pt00D. Add 5 or 6 racks of Point I/O with 10 ~30 slices of I/O. 60 pages of prints etc...
OK enlighten me with the wisdom. The only argument I can see is that if they loose the prints they have something to halfway go by.
