I have a SLC 5/04 and I want to put it on a DH+ network. I am using a controllogix bridge to get from my business network IP subnet to my plant floor IP subnet and a DHRIO card. The DHRIO card is set up on Channel A communicating with a PLC 5. I want to use Channel B to start a new DH+ network.
Question 1. The node address for the SLC 5/04 is 1… What is the node address of Channel B? Will there be any conflicts?
Question 2. What is the default node address of SLC processors and older PLC 5 processors.
Question 3. Can a node address of a PLC on a DH+ network be changed by navigating to the processor via the network, or does one have to plug directly into the processor (in my case) via DH 485
At this time I would like to leave the node address of the SLC because it is in full production and I don’t want to take it in to program mode (down) to make changes at this time. I was hoping to put it on the network with out any downtime.
Thanks in advance for assistance.
