AB PLC SLC5/05 and Siemens S7-300 PLC Communication

4 posts in this topic

I am having an AB PLC - SLC5/04 and Siemens PLC-S7-300. Both PLCs are on same ethenet network. Is there any way for data transfer between these two PLCs? Please Suggest.

They do not talk the same protocol. Just being on the same network is not enough. You should consider putting a post like this in either the Allen Bradley or Siemens forums, as more people in those forums may have better ideas.

How is the SLC 5/04 on an Ethernet network? Does it have an Ethernet module or bridge? The main CPU has Data Highway, not Ethernet. Depending on how much data, I would suggest using some kind of protocol converter to pass the data between the PLCs. Red Lion makes some good ones.

I would use the Red Lion's Data Station if the SLC's Channel 0 is available. You would get a lot more results in Either the General Topics or Allen Bradley forum. Would you like the topic moved there?
