RS232 is a serial network, but I use the word "network" very loosely. It's primarily used to talk directly from a laptop to controller for going online, uploading, and downloading. Since its range is limited to 50 feet, it's not typically used for permanent networking of controllers.

That said, for any given network, you simply need the appropriate network cards installed at each controller, and then write the code to get the needed information from one controller to the other. The 1500 will use RS500 but as of now, I believe the only way to write code for an 800 is with Connected Components Workbench (CCW). Either way, you will need to use the Message instruction to exchange data between these controllers.

Hope this helps.
