Hi All,
I have a project where I have to talk to a number of devices on Modbus RTU RS485. I have a level gauge that is a Modbus slave and a loading controller that is a Modbus master. I have to get a level value from the level gauge into the loading controller through a PLC (Versamax) so that the data can be displayed on a HMI. I was looking at the Red Lion Data Plus as a method of doing this. I thought that with an auxillary RS485 module I could set up the Red Lion as a master and a slave to get the data I require into the Versamax. I do not need specific setup information (although any suggestions would be appreciated) but just if this is feasable so that I do not waste any time delving deeper into the Red Lion.
