Replacing a Ethernet connected PanelView Plus 6 with a PanelView Plus 7 is a trivial matter but for some FTVME application graphics tweaking.
However, how would one approach replacing a RS-232 connected, KEPServer Enterprise 'driven' PVP6 with a 'modern', Ethernet only PVP7?
Obviously, the connected 'third-party' controllers do not have Ethernet capabilities and the platforms' replacement cost estimates are in excess of $500Ks/each.
Would a generic Serial Device Server (RS232/422/485-to-Ethernet) such as this one do?
Has anyone attempted to do so, and, if successful, are there any recommended Serial-to-Ethernet converters?
Would a (PVP7)USB-to-(CPU)Serial Port connection (cable/adapter) be functional?
Anticipated thanks for any input.
