We would liked to have our drives viewable from everywhere in the plant. Right now there is a 5/03 running our filter press. A 5/05 has already been purchased. The problem comes from the HMI screen. The engineer that put the system in quit before I was hired and didn't leave any notes or more importantly software. It is an Automation Direct screen running off of the DH-485 from the 5/03. I am hesitant to mess with it since we do not have any information on it, so my question is can we configure the RS-232 port on the 5/05 to run the screen on the DH-485 protocol using the 1761-NET-ACI? Will everything still be in proper working order?
Which Automation Direct HMI is it? If its one of the Cmore ones you can already access it for programming - both off and online and you can can have remote control as well.
