I have been tasked with adding an additional PLC to an existing Schneider TM221 is fully utilised, setting up communication between two m221s is my next challenge but that's for another time.
On the existing system theres 2x HMIs and 1 plc connected to the E WON along with the WAN connection, the new PLC will also require a LAN connection so i was thinking i could use a network switch to give me additional LAN connections as all my equipment will have fixed IPs.
Has anyone done this before and have any experience or tips, or even a better way of achieving the same thing?
The Panel is in the states and we aren't or i would just plug one in and try it.
(short version) Can i add a switch to the LAN side of an E WON Cosy to give me additional LAN Connections?
Thanks
