Hello
We have a machine called a tweedy mixer in a bread plant. It has 3x SLC5/04 plc's and 2 Xycom industrial pc's running wonderware intouch 7. The system communicates over DH+.
The issue i have is that the DH+ network is obsolete and we require a new Industrial pc to replace a broken unit. unfortunately you cant not buy an industrial pc with DH+ anymore so we have had to use a prosoft AX-X2-AB to convert from DH+ to Ethernet.
This network seems to lag though and i would say the commands take around 10 seconds to reach the plc through the prosoft converter. unfortunately that lag renders the machine completely useless.
i have used multiple PC's and the issue hasnt resolved it self.
I am wondering if there is anything i could check or do to try speed up the network. or if this lag is to be expected. I would also like to know if some one else has a similar system and if its running perfectly.
I look forward to your reply
Trevor
