I am trying to communicate with a Cummins PCC that has serial communications that will only work on the Lonworks Protocol.
Cummins promised me Modbus, but seomhow got locked into Lonworks. So far the only solution I have found is a $6500 PC/software device to bridge the gap.
Ideally I would like to be able to poll the Lonworks port throught the PLC-5 serial port.
2nd choice would be a Prolinx module on the PLC RIO link to Modbus to Lonworks. This would be ugly but if it worked I could live with it.
Has anyone had any success in bridging Lonworks with and AB PLC-5? (5/80E)
Thanks in advance.
