i have one plant that has a AD260 rack, a slc500, a ge fanuc 90/30, two ti545 and a ti525, and an ad305. i have the ad260 rack computer w/lookout online and i use vnc to get to it whenever they have a problem and i can usually tell them what the problem is. i would like to be able to network all these other plcs to panels on this computer with maybe just basic i/o screens for troubleshooting. i know i can do the slc500 with a serial cable easily with lookout driver....i've tried it with a laptop already so i just have to run the cable.....but i don't know about the rest....whether i need to buy some kind of communication modules for the ti's or what....and maybe here in the real world i can't even do this but would love to try. does anyone else have a problem like this...thanks...randy
