I have inherited a SLC 5/04 issue....
I am connected via the serial port to a PC (and USB serial converter).
I would like to add Citect SCADA 6.1.
Since there is no budget, and someone has lost the cable for the 1784-PCMK/B card, I can only access via the DB9 channel.
Is there any way to set up communications to allow RSLogix and Citect to share this connection?
Possibly some way to connect as DF1 half duplex and allow Citect and RSLOgix to run together? I guess another way to state the question would be 'is DF1 half duplex capable of mulitnode or multidrop' connections?
If this IS possible, has anyone done it?
I have followed and tried every lead I could find on the web, and read more manuals and docs that my glasses are melted.
Ken Roach, I saw you are online....care to take a jab at this?
