Hi everyone,
We've came across a project for trending and historical trending from 2 Yokogawa UT temperature controller.
The Controllers have RS485 comm port.
The workstation has a RS232 port + a RS232 - RS485 convertor.
1) I was thinking to use SCADA (RSViewME) or RSTrend. But I'm not sure how's the communication work. I think we need to get an KEPServer or OPC Server software for the PC to comm with the UT Controllers.
2) Can I use RSLinx Single Node + a 3rd party OPC Server?
Please comment. Thanks a lot....
