Multiple AB 1747-BAS Basic modules in same rack

2 posts in this topic

Hi All, I have a SLC5/04 10 slot rack with a BAS module in slot 1 used for generating serial ASCII reports to a local printer. The customer requirement expanded, and now we do not enough memory for the extra reports. We installed a second BAS module in Slot 5; the proc configured the hardware, and it seems to be functional so far. We plan to segregate the reports to two different serial printers. Has anyone ever used 2 BAS modules in the same rack, and if so, are there any gotchas I should be aware of?? I have scoured Google and I cant find any references to this. BTW, the option of upgrading to a PC user interface w/ RSView, WW or the like is ruled out. The system is already purchased and installed at the plant. Thanks in advance.

We have used up to four basic modules in same rack. Only problem was that we had to use basic modules (personally I hate them...) Why don't you use RS232 port of the CPU for printing? (just asking...) panic mode
