I have numerous 24VDC/50mA beacon/horn devices in the field. How do I convert these devices to IP based devices where each device gets an unique IP address. I also want to run these devices via POE (no 24V DC Power Supplies available).
I want a PLC (Schneider/ Rockwell/Siemens, etc) to communicate to these devices via TCP/IP. Communication will basically be turning the beacon/horn units on/off.
I prefer not to use discrete I/O modules. Wireless is not an option due to cyber security concerns. I prefer to use Ethernet POE switch to provide power to the remote alarm boxes. Everything will be on the same subnet. The solution needs to be small, modular and very portable.I was thinking like using Siemens S7-1200 PLC. It has integrated Ethernet built in.
It's a simple problem i need help implementing it.
