Can I connect a PLC5 to a SLC 505 using ethernet? I need to exchange information between the two PLCs. What instructions do I use for communication between the two?
ummm unless i missed a memo, its pretty straighforward. Just connect the processors to each other (through a switch/hub or with a crossover cable) and use a MSG instruction. I dont have access t the PLC5 software right now, but in RSLogix500, there is a PLC5 option under the target device setting on the MSG blocks. The only way it gets any simpler is if you get someone else to do it for you.
Yes you can. Using the MSG (message) Instruction. For futher information read the PLC5 Instruction set Help under the help tab of your PLC5 English software.
