Nikolay Kovalev Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Dear all, Could you please give explanation of one question: how can i use EXF-RC15? I should connect this module directly to PLC Vision via Canbus? Can I use a several EXF-RC15 modules with one Vision via Canbus? Thank you in advance! Nikolay.

MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted July 14, 2018 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 You didn't say what you wanted to do with the EXF-RC15, but check out the examples in Help->Examples->Version 900->Project Examples->Communications->EXF-RC15. Yes, you connect it to the Vision with CANbus but keep in mind that the EXF-RC15 is actually a small PLC in itself. CANbus is just used for data transfer between the module/PLC and the Vision. You can have up to 64 nodes in a CANbus network. I think this covers your requirement for "several". Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nikolay, How did it go with your application? I am going to start a application with the next equipment: EX-A2X IO-R016 EXF-RC15 V350-J-TRA22 Please you can share your experience with me. I have not found the document explaining how to communicate EXF-RC15 and V350-J-TRA22. Thanks in adavance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Ausman Posted September 15, 2018 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Your question is already answered. Look at the example Joe mentions above....it is an example program...not a "document". cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted September 16, 2018 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 @Yunchag- Hopefully you have the equipment in hand to test your work. Read the Help on how CANbus works if you haven't already. Look at the example program for the EXF-RC15 as I posted above- Help->Examples->Version 900->Project Examples->Communications->EXF-RC15. Configure your V350 and EXF-RC15 programs to the best of your ability and post them here with an explanation of what you want the -RC15 to do. Then we can help. Joe T.
