Hi everyone,
I have an existing system controlled by a L35E with 1769 IO cards.
My plan is to upgrade logic to a ControlLogix L73 but keeping all IO wired to the existing panel, only the new PLC will be installed elsewhere.
I was thinking of using Produced/Consumed tags between the two but I will still need logic on the L35E side ...
My question is : Is there a way to directly use 1769 IOs with a remote ControlLogix CPU with Ethernet ? (Even using 3rd party but I don't want to used DeviceNet ..)
And lastly, I will need to change tags references on a PanelView HMI to point the new cpu. Is there a way to quickly convert ? Just updating the topic is enough ?
Thanks,
