What devices can my TRi PLCs communicate with?
The F-series PLCs are the most versatile when it comes to the number of devices they can connect to and number of ways in which they can connect. Besides the 3 independent serial ports, there is a built-in Ethernet Port, and a socket for an XBEE radio module. The serial port connectivity is the same as for the M-series, described below. The XBEE radio module, which is available from Digi International, enables F-series PLCs to interface to futuristic ZIGBEE wireless sensors and control modules. The F-series Ethernet port has the following connectivity options: – Control & Monitoring via Internet – Remote Programming & SCADA – Built-in MODBUS/TCP Server – F-Server for i-TRiLOGI & ExcelLink – Up to 6 simultaneous Server connections – Send Emails to report real-time events – Connects to other F- or M-series PLCs – Connect to other Modbus/TCP servers Although all TRi PLCs have built-in serial ports, only the F-series and M-series super PLCs can be programmed to actively read/write to its s
