I have a system that is controlled by 3 compact logix processors and i/o at each rack.
This is a very large machine that has a lot of point i/o and drives on ethernet. The 3 processor setup was because when the company first started this build they had intentions to use 1 compact logix and all point i/o but the compact logix ethernet poert would not support that many connections so they added 2 more compact logix setups with local and point i/o in the remote cabinets.
This is a nightmare to troubleshoot to say the least because you have to have 3 instances of logix open to work through problems.I would like to but all the logic in 1 contrologix cpu and use the 3 compact logix as remote racks.
Question is can i install the 1768-ENBT and remove the processor and just use the enbt and compact i/o as a remote rack to the contrologix cpu or would i have to leave the compact logix processor in place?
If i have to leave the compact logix cpu in place what is the best way to just update the i/o from the contrologix to the compact logix cpu produced consumed udt,message instruction?
