SLC 5/05 or PLC5E
For some reason I have never worked with the above two processors. Our Ethernet network is only for computers and HMI's however linked to the PLC DH+ network via control logix.
I just wanted to be sure about a couple of things here. If we were to insert some of these Ethernet based processors unto our Ethernet network would they be able to communicate with the existing PLC's on DH+ via the control logix gateway?
Two if I were to connect a PC running RSVIEW directly to the Ethernet port via cross cable or through a switch would I be able to establish communication with the PLC/SLC and use RSVIEW.
Third question would I have to run RSLINX Pro on the RSVIEW running PC or would Linx Lite do the trick via a direct driver instead of OPC or DDE.
