(OP)
I recently installed a control panel comprising a Panelview Plus 1250 Linked via Ethernet to local Contrologix Plc. Call this(Site1)
I now have to install another control panel of same spec down site from previous. Call this(Site2) , but still need to read (site1) data from (site 2) Panelview.
The two Contrologix Plc's are linked via DH+.
(Site1)--DH+--(Site2)
My question is can (site2)Panelview read the data from (Site1)adding a new Shortcut called site1 say.
Could this be done via a routing table without having to perform messing from plc-plc.
(Site 1) (Site 2)

Hope i have explained myself clearly.

RE: PV-LOGIX-DH+-DH+-LOGIX-PV
However, wouldn't have been easier to connect the two sites via ethernet so both sets of PLCs & HMI's would be on the same network?
RE: PV-LOGIX-DH+-DH+-LOGIX-PV
I have found out that the Panelview Plus does not have the ability to comm through the contrologix backplane on Dh+.
I find this quite limiting due to wide installation of DH+ through the years.
The Dh+ network is existing and the customer does not want the extra cost of installing fibre on site. (Typical)
Will just have to CIP Message between Processors.
Thanks For Your Thoughts.
