Greetings All,
I am working on a project to monitor my new AC units via Ethernet IP.
Currently, the Pentair (Hoffman) AC unit with a remote access controller with Ethernet IP capability allows me to read/write temps and alarm settings via Hoffman software package.
I am hoping to be able to monitor the temp and alarm status in my PLC to allow me to send alarms to maintenance if the enclosure is getting too hot.
The AC Unit came with an Ethernet IP Object list of I/O & alarm flags. I am unfamiliar with how to use these objects or how to setup my RS Logix 5000 program to read these objects from the AC unit.
If anyone could walk me through the process or point me to some literature that would help explain how to set up this communication path I would be greatly appreciative.
Please let me know what other information you need from me to help.
Thank you.
