It is quite likely that PLCs will use H1 fieldbus as an I/O path to measurement and actuator field devices. I think it is less likely that a PLC would provide an H1 connection to a host, with the PLC itself acting as a field device. HSE (high speed ethernet) would usually be more appropriate at that level.
