Hello Smart People, I need some expert's suggestion about the SCADA system I am going to design for the client.
The customer has 55 machines and they all within 100-meter distance range, 20 machines out of 55 use Micrologix 1400 controller, another 20 machines out of 55 use CompactLogix 1769-L24ER, and 10 machines out of 55 use CompactLogix 5380.
So far, my design is to use 2 master ControlLogix 1756-L73 and 1756-EN2T with two managed layer 3 Moxa switches (the model # is ICS-G7852A) to isolate the data traffic so that all machines can be connected to the central network.
However, I worry about the capability of how many Micrologix 1400 a control Logix 1756-L73 can handle. In-person, I have no experience with such a big SCADA system in the past.
So, My plan is to use two ControlLogix Master With Managed Layer 3 Switches within the central location of all 55 machines, one master CPU is used to handle all Micrologix 1400 slave stations and the other one is used to handle all compactlogix slave stations.
I need to know if my design can be successful? if it is not, I need some experts suggestion about how to approach, I don't mind to use 4-5 master stations.
Thank you all smart people here
