Hello everybody!!
We’re trying to develop an SCADA system for energy plants, but we’re a totally newbies in PLC programming.
What we need is a device that, every such period of time, can read 10 analogic inputs values (voltage, current, temperature...) and store them in its internal memory, so the PLC must have a real time clock to correctly store the time the data were collected.
Also, we need that, from the supervision center, the communication were via PSTN or GSM modem, using the MODBUS protocol.
We don’t need any output, because we only need to collect data, store them and transmit them when the user requires it from the supervision center.
We’ve seen 2 models of PLCs: Cubloc and Millenium II, by Crouzet, but I’m not really sure it the fullfil our requirements. Can anybody recommend us any easy-programming PLC? We’re high-level languages programmer and we’re very green in this type of devices.
Any help would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!!
