Hi. Can both Excel link and I7017 be used together on RS485 port?

Unfortunately not since the two are using different protocol.  

Also when Excellink communicate with the PLC the PLC is the slave node. But when communicating with the I-7017 the PLC is the master node and the two cannot coexist on the same RS485 port.
