Hi all, Looking at using 6-7 Cmore Screen's with a Controllogix PLC... I was wandering if I should use the Pass-through Option, or let each Screen talk to the PLC... I'm looking at trying the Pass-through, All Screen's are identical so maybe it will be the best bet. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jason

    I find that allowing all the screens to get to the plc works fine. You may want to play around with the poll rate though.

    Edit: I’m assuming that every device will be on an Ethernet network.
