remote rack

[tj@coalmont]

I'm attempting to
allow two L32e's to access differant cards on a remote flex logix rack through an 1794-aent. is it possible? I'm still waiting on the parts to be delivered for testing.

EtherNet/IP follows the Producer/Consumer data model, which provides the following benefits over the traditional Client/Server or Source/Destination model:

• Multiple nodes can consume the same data from a single producer
• Nodes can be synchronized
• Optimized bandwidth potential for enhanced performance
• Protocol easily handles collection, configuration and control data over the same network.
• No system master needed for network management.
• Supports Polled, Cyclic, Change of State, and Multicast I/O data exchange.

Works great as long as you dont need to create those tags online.
