    mas_sam50, do you have (2) Micrologix(s), AND EACH Micrologix is connected to a C-more touch panel via a serial cable. AND you have info from the first Micrologix "passing through " the first (1st Server Panel) C-more to the second (Client Panel) C-more via Ethernet connection. AND you now want to add info from DL205 to the second (Client Panel) C-more. (Here a layout drawing would be handy.) If this is all true, then you can:

    Install a ECOM100 in the DL205 CPU base and connect to C-more network and setup an Ethernet device in Panel Manager, OR

    Connect a 3rd (2nd Server Panel) C-more to the DL205 and "pass through " the DL205 info to your second (Client Server) C-more via Ethernet C-more network.

    Is this what you 're looking for?

    first sorry my english is very hard to me to explain what i whant.

    i have 2 micrologix the 1rst direct connected to the panel, the 2nd connected through another panel.

    i whant to add a 3rd one connected through another panel but this one is a DL205 ok.

    When i click ADD say Error GUI-051 ( i found the solution of this error)

    if you have 1st the (direct connected) PLC and then you tried to add (Panel throug_ PLC) that's when the error comes up.

    solution

    Add first all the (panel through PLC) then the (direct connected)

    i hope that help some one i have a problem with that and i spend 2 hours figured this out.

    like i say before sorry my english

    mas_sam50, I'm glad you have it working. Yes, these things can take hours to figure out.

    In my last post, I said a layout would be helpful. Attached is a sample layout. You can correct as needed and add all your detail; names, IP, subnet, cables, etc.

    (Yes, the Micrologix looks like DL06s. I couldn't get my CAD to read the 3D format of the on-line Micrologix drawings.)
