In our PLC configuration (Modicon 984-785 E Hot Standby) We use two Modbus / RS232 port to each PLC CPU=20 to connect with Foxboro INT30 FT. It means that we must connect each port of Integrator to two ports=20 of each PLC - one port to PLC A and the other one to PLC B. We try to do this type of connection using three Modems for each line, communication is OK but we lost a diagnostic of cable problem -=20 when we disconnect one port from PLC side (while the other port of the = PLC is still connected) Can any one advise type of Modem , switch configuration, ect, so we shell have full diagnostic.
