I'm designing a system that is controlling a number of motors distributed throughout a building. I have one panel controlling them all. I'm thinking of using an Automation Direct EZ-S6C-KS eztouch display which has rs485 and modbus capability. I was going to send control data to a DL06 that would control each motor (or in some cases frequency drives). I have very few inputs and outputs so the DL06 is overkill but it has the networking capability. Is there a better solution since all I have is a quadrature encoder and a relay turning on a motor in most cases? Thanks.
