ML1200 modbus with NC01

[nikhilec2007]

Hi,
Though previously I have worked with ML1200 with Modbus using NET-AIC, I want to confirm that whether it is possible with NC01 or not.

I guess NC01 is just an interface to AB 8 PIN serial port and not a RS232-RS485 converter.

It can be used with ML1100 and 1400 only with "No handshanking (RS485 Network)" option on channel 0.

Is there any other cheaper option available than using NET-AIC because I need certainly 150 nos.

Correct at any point if I am wrong.

Ther are lots of RS232 to RS485 converters out there. See link

I have used the "Telebyte" and one from "bb-elect" before, both worked quite well.

A few more options...
