Hey all,
We have a customer who will be using our controllers as part of a remote inventory picking system. The controllers communicate through aerocomm wireless modems. Our controllers will be interfaced to the clients of the wireless communications. There are two controllers for this remote system...one for the X coordinates, one for the Y coordinates.
The server is attached to an Allen Bradley with a DF-1 protocol. I believe it is a Micrologix
My questions are:
1. Can the DF-1 protocol interface with either ASCII or ModBus?
2. Does AB offer Modbus interface for the Micrologix?
3. If the answer is no to the above, what other options are there?
ModBus and ASCII are the protocols we support.
To all who respond, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
God Bless,
