HI
I am still new to PLCs and therefore please excuse and correct me if I am wrong anywhere. I work in a solar energy industry and as part of a new product we are working on.. We need to be able to convert RS485 2 wire data from the current sensor to Ethernet so that it can be read on PC and HMI. As of now we are using a gateway to convert the RS485 to ethernet. Can this be done using a PLC alone like Siemens S7 or so? Or do we still need a seperate RS485 to ethernet converter?
