Communication over Buss Bar

Communication over Buss Bar

Communication over Buss Bar

(OP)
I need to have communication from a AB ControlLogix to a AB Micrologix or a remote flex I/O rack.  The remote I/O will not be physically connected to the Controllogix by a cable.  Has anyone used either devicenet over a buss bar (similar to bridge cranes) or DH+ if I put a micro in the remote location.  I would prefer to stay away from ethernet over RF if possible

Thanks

RE: Communication over Buss Bar

What about wired Ethernet from ControLogix rack to Flex I/O remote rack?  The Flex I/O line offers DH+, Ethernet, and other communications adapters for the Flex rack.

RE: Communication over Buss Bar

Prosoft also offers wireless radio communications, not just Ethernet protocol.
