Hello all. I have a system with 4 different machines, each has their own PLC. I also have a RC in this subnet also. I created a server PLC that all of the other PLC's will host (not sure if that's the correct word?). I have performed this with only two PLC's in the past and just used my module-defined data types and created tags based on that. Since I have 4 PLC's I am thinking the most efficient way is to create an AOI and then assign one to each PLC, in the server PLC. Just reaching out to those of you that this sort of integration is old hat to get your opinion as to the most efficient way to do this. Thank you.
