PLC 5 question.

4 posts in this topic

This PLC 5 communicates with other devices via ethernet, devicenet and DH+. I want to know how can I see the files assigned to each scanner. Or the other way I have a N word being sent to another PLC but I am not sure is done via device net through 2 RIOs or via ethernet. Anywhere in the software I can see that? TIA

The networks you mention are just that, networks, or highways data travels on. The vehicles that transport data on these highways are "MSG" blocks. Use your AB HELP menu to understand "MSG" command. Try to group data that needs to be shared in contiguous or consecutive addresses. This will make your data transfer simpler and faster. Good Luck!

Thank you, I was hopping for something like I/O list for the communication channels as well. Yes is very convenient asking a question (even a basic one) in the forum, but I thought that was the point. Anyway I would appreciate if you can direct me to the right resources as well.
