How Can I Access the Registers in the Productivity P2-RS Slave Units for the Connected Modules without the P2-550 PLC
I have two P2-RS and connected modules, but the P2-550 is on indefinite backorder. Does anyone know how to indirectly access the module registers of slave units without the P2-550. I was hoping to pull in the signals to another PLC and access through the MODBUS connection. However, tech support indicated that the addresses could not be accessed without the P2-550.
Is there a hack or a manual identifying the MODBUS addresses corresponding to the I/O, or some way to access these registers outside the P2-550 platform?
Also, does anyone know where I could find a loaner or another source for the P2-550 other than Automation Direct?
Tech support is correct. You can not access remote P2-RS I/O registers without the CPU.
i found a few available online but it looks like there is a health mark up on them
