I am with the Power Generation Division of the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
We are interested in monitorinng and controlling engine driven portable generators and their loads via MODBUS. We envision several generators and loads colocated in a small area all connected via MODBUS. We further envision connecting this local network to a larger network via Ethernet TCP/IP. We are looking essentially for an evaluation kit to get started with. This would consist of an Ethernet TCP/IP equipped master and several slave units, the latter haveing relay closures for control purposes and A/D converters to monitor device functions. We have been unable to find a suitable package that would get us started.
