Haven't found the anwser here or in the AB documentation.
Does anyone know how many DCM modules can be placed in a SLC rack?
I have 4 production lines running, I have started adding Idle timers to shut conveyors down, how ever the Plant manager wants to add a button to cycle stop each line from a remote location.
Since each line has an RIO network connecting each processor in the Line, I figure I can get a supervisor PLC (it will be a controls logic processor).
Add a DCM module (all lines have SLC's)and daisy chain the 4 lines.
I'll send a stop signal to the lines either collectively or individually over this network and then use the lines RIO network to do the actual shut down.
Thanks for the help
