5201-MNET-DFNT to PLC5
I have the following config:
5201-MNET-DFNT via Ethernet to 1756-ENBT via backplane to 1756-DHRIO via DH+ to PLC5/40.
How do I configure the path in the DFNT cfg to go across the backplane to the PLC5?
Can I? or do I have to config a MSG in the PLC5?

RE:5201-MNET-DFNT to PLC5
Our DFNT driver has the capability of doing PCCC-type Ethernet message instructions, similar to the type of messaging done in SLC read and write messages (MSG instructions) going directly between SLC 5/05s on an Ethernet network.
As such, you will not be able to bridge and route messages from our module through the ENBT-DHRIO combination to reach the PLC5 on the DH+ network. The ProLinx module does not provide for this kind of routed-message addressing. However, you should be able to create a MSG instruction in your PLC5 to access data from the ProLinx DFNT Server.
Or, you could install a MVI71-DFNT module in your PLC5 system. Then, the ProLinx DFNT Client could send commands to the MVI71-DFNT server (or, vice versa); and the MVI71-DFNT could exchange data with the PLC5 via BTR/BTW instructions.
