Hello,
This is my first post and I'm fairly new to PLC's and systems to please bare with me
I wish to perform an intrusive network survey on a system to determine the following: -
Continuity Checks
Loading Checks
Loss/Margin Checks
The network consists of a main PLC which is connected to 5 node PLC's, 4 of which are SLC 5/03, one is SLC 5/02. The network is DH485.
I've been doing some reading on DH485 networks as they are not something I am familiar with although I believe the cables are made up of 2 x twisted pairs.
Is there a specific tool for performing continuity checks/loading checks/and loss/margin checks on these networks or can this be done through RSLinx?
Also how do I go about recording details such as Successful Messages, Transmit messages, bad messages, queue errors, link dead timeout, token claim won, token claim lost, SOL success, token retries, token fails etc
Can this be done through RSLinx?
Many thanks,
John
