How to share data between a Rockwell Micrologix 1400 (Ethernet) and a PLC5/60 (DH+) using Kepware

[DP_10774813]

Have a Micrologix 1400 on Ethernet controlling a Filter Bank. The PLC5/60 is on a DH+ network and connected to a DCS via Kepware v5.8.109. Looking to add control from the PLC5/60 to add controls to the Micrologix 1400. Is this possible?

I am not sure of the exact architecture you have described, but it sounds like you want to have the output of one device tag update the input of a separate device tag. If this is correct; it can be achieved using the KEPServerEX Advanced Tag (Link Tag Option). Here is a link to the Advanced tag manual page that covers linking:

I recommend opening a support ticket with the Kepware team to provide pre-sale consultation. Here is a link to the login page where a support ticket can be opened.
