I have Triconex safety PLC system installed in my plant(TRICON 1131 v 2.0). The PLC chasis has an NCM 4329 card for SOE(sequence of events), which communicated through BNC connectors and NIC card in the windows NT based computer.

But presently the NIC cards of the computers have gone faulty and the OS (windows NT) has become obsolete, that's why the system has stopped working.

Is there any way so that a NCM 4329 card of triconex can be used to retrieve SOE on a PC having windows XP as the OS?

Is it possible to get a converter like BNC to ethernet?

If yes then what will be the protocol for that communication?

 

Hi,

>BNC to ethernet?

the Ethernet (802.3) ports of your NCM 4329 are available in 10Base-T/BNC connector and you can find converter with 1x RJ45, 1x BNC (like http://www.digitus.info/en/products...dia-converter-rj45-bnc-dn-82050/section/prof/ for example)
This is for the hardware only...

Please, can you confirm that you are connected to NET2 on your NCM4329 ?
