I have four Allen Bradley SLC5/03s that I need networked into two sets of two, one is for regular use the other is a backup.
My question is if I use a 1747AIC card in the PLC and a 1761AIC outside to connect an HMI, can I connect my PC to the 1761AIC or do I need another 1761AIC on the network?
There are three ports, a DIC-8 and DB-9, If the DB-9 goes to the computer and DIC-8 connects to the HMI will this work?
Additionally I need to read sensors that communicate in MODBUS485 does my MODBUS converter connect to the DH485 on the PLCs or do I need another 1761AIC before my MODBUS converter? I have not found a MODBUS converter yet is why Im asking, any suggestions on a brand would be great.
I'm a student trying learn go easy on me. ha, ha
Thanks in advance,
Hansen
