Controllogix connection to S5 PLC

3 posts in this topic

I want to connect the Allen Bradleyt Controllogix to Siemens S-5 using interbus protocol. The Siemens S-5 connected to Phoenix Contact I/O System using interbus. We want to read the data from S-5 processor. could I use SST-IBS-CLX-RLL module? Thank you for any suggestion or comment. James

I am not experienced on making this happen, but have you spoken with your SST distributor? I have had a lot of success with TCIC in St. Paul, MN ********************* has been very helpful for me in the past when it comes to SST and inter-Allen-Bradley networking issues. Another thing to consider is keeping the S5 I/O and integrating its programming into your ControlLogix and thus ditching the S5 processor. If your I/O mix is typical discrete and simple analog, this might be a slam-dunk. Then write a capital authorization to upgrade the S5 racks to A-B CompactLogix or similar over a determined time period. I was always up for getting rid of the 1980's vintage, user-unfriendly S5 systems. Uggh!

With AB not supporting interbus you may want to go another direction. Both AB and Siemens support profibus. You can get a profibus module for S5 from siemens and AB has third party vendor prosoft that makes a profibus board.
