hi guys,
Are there any devices on the market that will take a 4-20mA signal IN, and communicate across Ethernet, to a reciever, and ouput the 4-20mA signal?? The reason I'm asking this is that I have a lone flow transmitter, which we are looking to tie into the PLC, but it sits in a building seperate from the PLC. We might be able to get some hard wiring out there, but it looks as of right now the old conduit has been filled in. Wireless is an option, but because of the nature/location of the 2 building, it may not work right.I have looked at wireless trnasmitter/reciever units from OMNEX and SCADALINK. Now, the reason I aked about the ethernet, is because we do have a netowk drop out there. Has anyone one ever seen/done anything like this before?? OR do you think the Wireless might work?? If you want more imfo on the situation/location of the buildings, as well as the building materials, let me know.
Thanks,
Andrew Evenson
