I am an experienced software engineer but somewhat new to PLC programming, and my question is mostly related to configuration/hardware.
I am updating an existing application which currently uses a ML1100 connected to a PanelView via the Ethernet port. I want to add the ability to commuicate with two external devices via RS232.
Can I use one 1761-NET-AIC to accomplish this? Basically, can I configure the PLC in RS-485 mode and connect to the AIC using the AIC's DH-485 port via a 1763-NC01 cable?
If this is possible and the two RS232 ports are addressable, i should be able to connect one external device using a 1761-CBL-PM02 and a DB9 serial cable...
Let me know if I am way off base here... any help is greatly appreciated!
