Looking at getting comms to an FX3U to Ignition. There is already an expansion card left of the PLC giving Ethernet.
I am using Ignition Edge Panel so don't want an HMI with drivers.
Looking at the DataStation from Red Lion DSPLE000.
I see in the drivers list it has these for Mitsi:
I was going to add an MB3170 to convert Modbus RTU to TCP as well, but if the data station can do that on RS485 2-wire then all the better. The moxa is almost £300 now, online price for DSPLE is £635 so if I can do away with the moxa then the DSP is quite reasonably priced.
