Hi,
I need to network 40 DH485 SLC's for a scada project. I would like to keep the costs down since I will be replacing the processors in a few years.
So far the options I've come up with are:
DH485 -> Ethernet converter for every processor
-too expensive
Serial -> Ethernet converter for every processor (generic Ebay)
-price is right
-never used one before, might be a pain in the a$$
DH485 network with a single Ethernet converter
-Lots of blue hose to run, will be redundant with switching to ethernet processors in the future
Any thoughts?
Thanks
