Hi List!
I have a situation where a Siemens S7 300 and a AB 5/40E are controlling 2 different processes in the same building. These two systems need to talk to each other, and I want to be able to monitor the interaction (flows) between the two systems at one simple display panel. The two systems already have their own control panels.
I am wide open to suggestions here. I would
love to hear what communication protocol,
(that's supported by both PLCs), and what type of panel with a bright, highly visible display would work best. The max distance between the 2 is 500 feet. Reliability is the big issue compared to cost.
I know you all have some great ideas for this.
So, ahead of time, Thank you Ever So Much!!!
