Hello All,
Hopefully you can help me with an upcoming project. Right now there is an existing 5/03 on site in the "Filter" control panel. I will be installing a new control panel with a 5/05 and installing the 1747-SN, the 5/03 in the Filter control panel will be swapped out with the 1747-ASB. So that takes care of the local I/O in the plant, but I have a small lift station next to the Plant that I need to get a couple digital points from. What does Allen-Bradley offer for remote ethernet I/O, and what experiences have you had with them? Would I be better off going with 3rd party I/O-communication blocks to transfer the I/O over the air. Regardless of which way I go I would have wireless communication to this liftstation. Any help would be appreciated.
