We're converting a SLC 5/05 to 1769 CompactLogix. The existing PLC is spread among two cabinets, with five racks total (last two racks being read by a RIO scanner module) and 28 modules total. In order to simplify wiring and keep existing IO, we'd like to keep the same physical rack configuration.
We're going to be using a 1769-L36ERM for CPU, which has a 30 module limit. Can I setup a 1769 processor with five racks? IAB will only let me setup 3, and I'd have to go with an 1769-AENTR for the last two racks, which is fine, and what I'll probably do. I was just wondering if anyone has tried to make more than 3 racks while staying within the 30 module limit.
