I was wondering if anyone has any experience with setting up a Rockwell Automation DLR network and utilizing fiber between some of the nodes?
I am working on the layout of a new system that utilizes a Redundant 1756-L73 setup with approximately 23 Remote IO nodes that I intend to use EN2TR and AENTR modules. My problem is that some of the AENTR nodes are more than 100 meters from the next closest node so we plan to go through fiber converters and run fiber between the nodes to set up the ring. The Rockwell Manual that I reviewed indicated that fiber could be utilized between nodes but when I posed the question to Rockwell I got a response back saying that it would not work due to latency issues caused by the fiber converter.
Just wondering if anyone has tried and gotten a DLR to work successfully by utilizing fiber between nodes and if you have any tips on setting it up.
Thanks,
Brad
