What we have done on more than one occasion is connect discrete inputs and outputs between the systems. Chad M.

The objective is that one PLC has to tell the other to do something, so the connection is not for diagnostic. It seems that the idea is not good because the plant network is not the right path for connecting two plc to work together but I do not have any paper, standard or experience of people who have done this before. Any comment or idea to share will be greatly appreciated. AVISO LEGAL: Esta información es privada y confidencial y está dirigida únicamente a su destinatario.
