Hello all!
I am currently trying to read some temp values from a M2B+ controller (link: https://www.diecastmachinery.com/Us...8_Sterlco M2B+ Controller Complete Manual.pdf) which uses modbus RTU protocol. I wish to monitor the temp values from the controller into my SLC 5/05 that has OS series C FRN 13 (Processor FRN 6) using RS-485 electrical interface (that's what the temp controller uses).
I am aware that I may need an RS-232 to RS-485 converter but I'm not sure what that model/PN # is. Additionally, I am using RSLogix500 (Ver: 5.2) and would like to know if its possible to do this with the software I have? If so how can I configure my channels and program to make this work? I am fairly new/unfamiliar to all of this and I hope there may be someone that can help me out!
Thanks!
