Hi There,
I am involved in an offshore pumping project that requires recording of pumping parameters eg rate pressure etc. The normal setup is to collect the sensor signals (both 4-20mA and 12V pulses from prox. switches) via data concentrators, and via the concentrators RS232 port, send the data to a PC. My present requirement is to have a redundant PC running. Is there a way to "split" the RS232 signal out of the concentrator without messing up the interrogation command out of the PC? Do I need to convert to RS485 or 422?
