Hello Shawn Tierney.
I wanted to tell you that I have worked for some time in automation and I am starting to get involved with Allen Bradley, because of this a need arises and I want to generate a communication between a plc scl5/04 and a compactlogix L32E I would like to know if you can give me an idea of how I must establish the physical electrical connections and how to read and write msg via dh485 communication.
thank you very much I’m waiting
