SLC family

From $1

Table of contents

The DF1 IO Server of eWON provides 3 features:

  • Poll items in SLC50x, Micrologix and PLC5 controllers using PCCC requests.
  • Forward PCCC requests from EIP (TCP/IP) to DF1 bus and thus, act as an adapter between EIP and DF1.
    Using that feature, it is for example possible to access a PLC connected to the eWON’s DF1 link by connecting RSLogix 500 using RSLinx TCP driver started with the eWON IP address as destination.
  • Poll DH+ device using ControlLogix gateway

Remote maintenance available.
