Hello all,
I'm wondering what solutions people are using to connect one or two stationary PC's in a programming office to multiple machines on the shop floor. I have two shops I'm working with and both use such a scenario. They have one or two PC's and they need to connect them to multiple (8+) machines. Currently one shop is set up using two 4-port switch boxes with one cascaded into the other. This gives one input and a total of seven machine outputs. The other shop is using a plug and jack system with two PC's and several machines. They use RJ-12 plugs and wall jacks like an old time phone operator would do.
I'm just wondering what other solutions are you there and what the estimated cost would be.
Thanks in advance,
Justin
