Why is your BPC so long? Integrator30 loading? If so would going to AB
Stations make the loading issue better (IE shorter BPC's)?
That's really this issue that got me started thinking about this. We
ran inot overun problems on a recent job we did, and had to go back and
pahes the Integrator 30's. It appears to me that the AB Station should
be a much higher preformance interconnect here? Am I wrong?
I recognize that it's basicly a way of getting to only one PLC, unless
you want to message data between PLC's, which I don't wnat to do. But
given that my current thoughts are that teh AB station should be a much
better solutin.
But I am open to hearing others expeience, since I have no expirence
base with the AB Stations at all.
Thanks for the feedback.
