Will you be doing control thru Foxboro to the SLC505's? If so, I'm curious to know how they are going to talk on the node bus. Thru an Intergrator? -----Original Message----- From: John Metsker [mailto:John.Metsker@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 2:43 PM To: 'foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: [foxboro] AW70 Connected to AB SLC 505 PLC's. David, The AW51-Integrator will work fine as a way to communicate to AB SLC5/05's over Ethernet. Why don't Foxboro salespeople know all of the available options within their own family of products to a given problem?
