Click Here to Learn More!Can my HI 1746WS module work in a remote SLC (1746Ax) RIO rack driven by PLC 5 processor?
Which application software should I use (for SLC 500 or for PLC5)?
Yes, the HI 1746WS can work in the remote chassis (with the ASB module) to a PLC 5 over RIO. The PLC 5 program would need to have the block transfers, through the RIO scanner to the ASB module, perform the actual transfer of data. The data within the block transfers would need to follow the specifications outlined in the HI 1746WS manual for operation in a remote chassis.
You would use the RSLogix 5 for the PLC 5 processor to set up the ladder logic, since the program will be in the PLC 5 processor.
Attached to this WebTech answer is a simple block transfer example, written in RS Logix 5, used to test this type of setup. It may help you get things going.
