You can run Crimson 3.0 emulator and do all the testung you need if you have the PLC already. It wont work over you laptop wifi it will require a hardwired connection. Ask me how I learned that little problem......   I do a bunch of testing with the emulator in 3.0 i just change the hardware to a 308A and start playing.

Bob I'm 90% sure you can do the hope. Off of memory when you the PLC comms up there is s path tab that allows you to do specify the path. I remember doing ut like an old school MSG path where 1,2,192.168.1.9,1,5,2,44. I dont remember the exact call out for the paths. 

I like the 5000 HMI for basic systems. Early on they had some limitations, now they are my goto for HMI.

If you are looking for someone to do this let me know. I worked on the exact saws Bob is talking about. We used old school PLC back in the day. Now we would use ethernet devices and run. 

The MAM-KY02S  is a dedicated processor just for Air Compressors correct?

Chris look at Real Time Automation the have some nice hardware based systems. The 460 can be used as a Dnet master. Not a simulator but cost effective.

No they where all old post. Thanks

If this has been covered sorry I couldn't find it in my search? Why have some of the pictures be deleted in several of the threads?

Get insurance!!!! One small problem and it could cost you a lot.

Are you trying to use them on the serial or Ethernet? I have not used them. So take this advice for what you paid for it. You should be able to use the Modbus driver to talk to the EtherTraks.

Host commands is what you will be looking for in the manual.

I bought DIN rail and wire duct cutters when I was doing a huge job. Money well spent. I can layout duct and rail super quick. My helpers started out using hacksaws. The edges always looked like they where cut with a hacksaw and someone tried to clean them up. My local supply house has a DIN cutter and I used it a handfull of times. I was in another panel shop and they where cutting rail like mad men.

830 as remote I/O?????? Ken Roach what? ????? The only reason I don't report your account as hacked is because it is Modbus. I might have to ask Chris to monitor your account for more crazy post. I am having my local AB rep sample shop a 2080 Dnet card just to play with. I don't plan on using this as a control source just a play with and understand dnet a little better.
