Hello all.
I have a customer who has a Modicon 984 PLC system in place. Currently, this PLC is talking to an Intellution station via RS-232 connection.
This facility is going through a large scale upgrade of their other PLC's in house, mostly AB 5/04 to 5/05 for Ethernet comm's.
This 984 PLC needs to do the same. I'm looking for some input on a serial to Ethernet converter, Ethernet card to put in the existing rack, or an upgrade of the processor (and only the processor) for the existing 984 I/O rack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We can get the proper Intellution drivers for Ethernet comm's once we settle on a hardware upgrade / conversion.
Thanks,
Pat
