CatUnitronics Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Have 3 separate test stands that are Unitronics USP-156-B10 that are not on a network. Would like to see about sending data from the Unitronics to 1 Allen Bradley PLC. Would this be feasible? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted October 25, 2020 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 By "Allen Bradley PLC" I'm guessing you don't mean a PLC 5, a SLC 500, or a uLogix 1000. 1. You'll need to add a network. 2. Set each Unitronics as an Ethernet I/P Scanner (master) and you can write to the AB. Or set each Unitronics as an Adapter and the AB can be programmed to read from them. Either of these will "probably" work, but my experience with Ethernet I/P is if all communicating devices don't bear the AB logo then it's going to be glitchy. For Ethernet I/P - <rant> Scanner = Master Adapter = Slave I will continue to use this politically incorrect but much more clear language until I am dead. The same applies to Client/Server. </rant> Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted October 25, 2020 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Now that's funny, in a PLC geekasoid way! 😄 I see a T-shirt here. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
