[Dsg-hallc_controls] HMS PLC firmware & software updates

Small correction in Pablo's email, Hall C will need 2 of each module if they want to use redundancy.

Also, the version isn't really important (I suspect some of those aren't made anymore), the ones Pablo listed are just what SHMS uses.

Here's the logbook entry of the work that basically just repeats what Pablo already said: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3581548

>    7. Generated HMS PLC ACD. program version 20. Program included all modification

>    8. Downloaded PLC program v20 in the PLC controller.
>    9. Noticed issues to re-synchronize the redundancy modules.
> We were able to run new HMS PLC program with version 20, but there was a fault

> Item # 	Quantity 	Current Module in use by HMS 	Suggested module to be acquired
> 1 	2 	1757-SRM/B (Redundancy) 	1756-RM/A
> 2 	1 	1756-ENBT/A (Ethernet) 	1756-EN2T/B
> 3 	1 	1756-CNB/D (ControlNet) 	1756-CN2/B
> 
> Also having these new modules mentioned in the above table for the HMS PLC
