Question

Does the Hardy 3000 series units communicate with an Allen Bradley SLC PLC?

Answer

Yes, the HI 3010, HI 3030 and HI 3300 can communicate to the SLC PLC.
They can send data to the PLC via Analog output and has the ability to have bi-directional communication through DeviceNet and EIP.

EIP is a new addition to the communication between the SLC and the Hardy 3000 series units.  Hardy uses an industry proven HMS Anybus Ethernet communications board to work internally in the units.
