My current system involves a FX1N PLC and the F940 GOT. I would like to monitor this system via ethernet. In reading some other postings, it seems that I can add a FX1N converter board and a serial-ethernet converter. I found the following converters from BB electronics; ESR901 and ESP901. Does it sound like this is a valid approach? Thanks, Mike

SLC5/03 with PanelView Component
mikecham replied to mikecham's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Sparky, Thanks for the information. I ended talking to my distributor for help. Turns out that Port 1 is a serial port that uses DH485 protocol. I didn't have the PLC name matched up on both sides. It's now talking. Thanks, Mike -
I'm having trouble communicating between a Panelview Component (C600) and a SLC5/03. I'm trying to talk point to point. I want to use DH485 protocol on the DB9 ports of both units. What should the pinout be between the C600 and SLC? I found conflicting information in the user manuals. Any other pointers? Thanks, Mike

I'm interested in networking a group of FX1S PLCs. Essentially, I would like to remotely monitor the status of machines from any office computer. So far, it seems that I need to add a FX2NC-ENET-ADP board to my PLC. I would like write a generic user interface so that any office PC could view the status. Can I use Java code as my front end or am I looking at this the wrong way? Thank you.

Crossbow, What would be my best direction to remotely monitor my PLCs without using GXDEV? Also, is it better to use a more powerful PLC series such as the FX3? Thank you.
