Title: Connecting 2 D0-06's together
Post by: brian101 on October 31, 2010, 10:03:34 AM

Every once in a while I have been asked to add 1 or 2 more devices(I/O) to a D0-06 that has no room for that particular device. How can I link two 06's together so that I can use only 1 H0-ECOM100 and the same panel? Any help would be apprieciated.
Thanks...

Group very slowly changing inputs and outputs on the second D006. Link together, crossing R/T, between the Port 2's. Use DirectNet messaging with the original CPU (the one with the ECOM) as master to read inputs (directly) and to affect a set of C bits which are used my a minimal (communication checking) program in the second CPU to turn on outputs.
