Gents,
In one of our factories, we have 4 machines with A-B PLC-2/15.
Within about a year all these machine will be replaced, but for the time being I've to create a solution for data aquisition.
I've a PLC-5/40 with EthernetCard spare, and like use this one for communication with all PLC-2's.
As I'm not very familiar with PLC-2 I like to know if this is possible, and how?
Can a I create a DH(+) network, and let all PLC's talk together, or do I need a communication card in the PLC-5 rack like a 1785-KA3.
All the PLC-2 rack's are full, and so we have to use the programming port.
Or can I use a Prosoft 5201-DFNT-DH485 serial to EthernetIP Gateway?
Thanks for your support in advance!
