Hello All,
I have a line of machines that all use global bits to communicate over DH+. I've been upgrading the line from the SLC5/4 to Compact Logix and Control Logix. I picked the machines that don't necessarily communicate with each other but now I'm at the point where I need to start getting rid of the DH+ and migrate over to ethernet. The problem is I still need the old SLC500 DH+ system to communicate with the new ethernet system. I'm trying to utilize a AN-X2 Ethernet Bridge and going taking it to a Logix 5581E processor and hopefully utilize consumer and producer tags to talk to all these machines. My question is...where should I start. I'm not sure how to setup an AN-X2 module to communicate with the Logix 5581. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
