Chuck,
We have a 50-Series installation at ver. 6.3 (originally 6.2) running an
AB30FT with an A cable direct connect to the RS232 port on the front of a CL5550
PLC. This is working well. Since the CL5550 is all tag-based, we pass data by
setting up "n7" and "n9" arrays in the PLC simulating the PLC5 appearance to
I/A. We are planning at least two more installations using this arrangement. I
can send you ECB and ABScan Block details if you want.
My understanding is that you should alternatively be able to communicate
through the KF2 modules via Data Highway + modules in the CL5550 racks. This
would allow multidropping to several PLC's.
