Hi guys

I am a beginner when it comes to PLC and AB. Today I started to make some backups of different ACD files from controllers and I encountered something that made me a little confused.

Look at the attached photo, you can see that I can see two controllers with different IP. In the machine I can only see one controller. When I run a upload on both of them, I get the same ACD file as far as I can see. 

 

Why do I see two controllers? Do I need to make backup of both of them? And it says that number two is under something called A2. What is that?

 

The controllers are running version 31.011.

With the 5069 controllers you can set the ethernet ports to different IP address, or have them both have the same IP address.

With having different IP addresses it allows you to connect to a scada network and a local IO network.

Thank you very much Alan.

 

So there is only one ACD file in the controller?

Yes, RobinEriksen. All Allen Bradley controllers can only hold one .acd file at a time.
