Hi Answers to your questions: 1. Yes the 545 PLC can accept 2 2572-A modules. i believe you can go upto 8 Special Function modules. 2.Is the existing Ethernet also 2572-A ? The 2572-A can handle up to 16 concurrent TCP connections using the CAMP protocol, which is the one you are going to use to communicate with the Kepware OPC server. Remember however that you can only assign one unique IP address to the 2572-A card. If you are going to connect to 2 separate networks, it may be preferable to use 2 separate 2572-A cards. 3. Yes it is. Be carefull with very old 545 CPU's like 545-1101 or 545-1102. They have some limitations bit it should still work. For most recent information about 2572-A go to: http://www.controltechnology.com/products/2572-a/ 4. Yes you will be able to upload the program using Tisoft. But you will loose the program documentation stored in the Softshop file. You may want to consider upgrading to PLC workshop for Siemens 505, which has the ability to import softshop files. for further info see: http://www.fast-soft.com/page.php?20 Regards, |
