Re: [foxboro] FBM230 Communication with AB PLC5 over DH+

Just for future reference.=20
If your PLC5 has a serial port (Typically Channel 0),=20
you don't need a separate CAM device (KF2 or KE)=20
unless you are polling several PLC on a common network.=20
You can configure the serial port on the PLC5 and=20
connect directly to the FBM's termination Assembly.
The serial link is Allen Bradley's DF1 protocol.

Thank you for all who shared knowledge and experiece to solve our
problem. We got our problem solved last week.
The problem was with the CAM (AB 1770 KF2) device address. Our CAM
device address was 020 (octal). The Foxboro I/A Series has some conflict
with this address. When we changed the address to 030 it started data
exchange with AB PLC5.
