hi everyone,
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year
One of my colleague requires comments/suggestions on the following as this
is first time we are venturing into this.
For one of the project, for networking 4 MicroLogix 1000's (only series C), each would need to be connected to its own 1761-NET-AIC Link Coupler (which requires a 24V dc power source) with 1761-HMO2 cable, and these couplers are
daisy chained to each other using Belden grey DH485 cable.. Then one of them is connected to the SLC 5/05's own 1761-NET-AIC, which is then cabled (AB DF1 pin-out) to the RS-232 port on the SLC 5/05. The SLC 5/05 can then communicate to them using unsolicited messaging, and they in return can do the same back to the SLC.
Pros:
1. Considerably less field wiring.
2. With one additional AIC connected to a host computer on the main network, we'd have remote access to all the Micros.
Any suggestions/comments or alternate solutions over this will be of great
help.
