So I'm looking at replacing some obsolete Prosoft boxes that currently convert DH+ to Ethernet.
I have a logix chassis that already has a 1756-RIO card in adapter mode to pass IO back and forth between the logix processor and the PLC5.
What I would like to do is connect the panelview directly to the machine ethernet network and bring the data from the PLC5 into the logix processor and send it out to the panelview, eliminating the need for the prosoft box.
Is this something I am able to do with a RIO card? Or am I limited to I/O?
Thanks.
