The kit includes additional ports to allow you to access the PLC, locally, without disconnecting or reconfiguring the access kit once installed.

This type of setup offers you the opportunity to have a qualified automation programmer connect, monitor processes, collect data, and make program changes from an off-site location.

Service package online minutes are sold for this type of service, and are available at a reduced cost compared to the standard on-site service rates. Furthermore there are no expenses billed such as airfare, travel time, car rental and hotel.

Allen Bradley PLCDue to a wide variety of Allen-Bradley PLC configurations, a system analysis must be conducted to determine what type of modem kit will be quoted.

The following information is required:

  • Type of processor (SLC 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, Micrologix, PLC-5, etc)

  • Available ports (Channel 0, Channel 1, etc)

  • Devices or peripherals that are permanently connected to any port (PanelView, RediPanel, Bar Code Scanner, etc)

  • Rack size (7-slot, 10-slot, etc) and if there are any free slots available.

  • Existing PLC network at your location (DH-485, DH+, Ethernet, etc)

  • If Multiple PLCs are to be setup on a network where they can be accessed through one modem, the distance between each processor is required to determine the correct cable length and if any signal boosters or relay stations will be required. (Certain PLC configurations may not allow a simultaneous network and modem setup.)

Note: Preferably, a dedicated telephone line must be routed to the electrical enclosure that will house the modem kit. If an existing active telephone line is to be used, it must not be interrupted during a live connection to the PLC or network.
