Hey guys, I'm trying to set up messaging between two PLC 5 processors that are on Data Highway, but I'm having a difficult time finding any resources on how to do this. What I would like to do is read a data table on NORSKPEW from the PLC102 PLC. I have no issues with setting up the data table addresses and size in elements, but I am uncertain on the rest of the setup. I'm assuming the target device is Remote as the processors are on different data highway cards. Below is our setup in RSLinx. We're using a controllogix processor with an ethernet card and two DHRIO cards to run our mill's data highway network.
192.168.1.50 1756-ENBT/A
Backplane, 1756-A7/A
00, 1756-ENBT/A
01, 1756-DHRIO/C,
CH A, Data Highway Plus
CH B, Data Highway Plus
12, PLC-5/40E, NORSKPEW
02, 1756-DHRIO/C
CH A, Data Highway Plus
CH B, Data Highway Plus
77, PLC102
The information I am looking for in the MSG setup is:
- Port Number for 'This PLC-5'
- Whether Local/Remote is local or remote
- If remote, do I need to define the local station number
- Node
- User
- Remote Bridge Link ID
I would assume you need more information than what I've provide to answer some of these, but I'm not sure where to even begin looking for this information. If anyone has experience in this area, I would greatly appreciate the help!
