Loading Considerations for Multiple PLC-5 Configuration
The DDMC32 system does not limit the number of PLC-5s you can link to
the operator interface. However, to maximize performance of the Data
Highway Plus, we recommend that you have no more than 20 PLC-5s
linked to one Data Highway Plus.
Your messages do not get lost when using multiple PLC-5s; they are,
however, read on a first-in basis.
