kevin91172, How far is your touch panel from your PLCs? RS485 can go 4000ft end-to-end. I would suggest a RS485 network. Your touch panel would be your master and your PLCs would be the slaves with unique station addresses. Use (1) FA-ISOCON at your touch panel for isolation. And use an FA-ISOCON at each PLC. The ISOCONs include cables for connections to the PLC. If you don't mind making a few solder (or pin) connections, you can make a short cable from the touch panel to the touch panel ISOCON. If you want to go with off-the-shelf terminal blocks, use a straight-through 15-pin cable and a ZL-CMDB15. If you don't want the isolation at the touch panel, you can use the EA-COMCON-3. Hope this helps.
