Posted 1 Dec 2011 What's is the part number of the PLC? if you are using Ethernet way communication, you can use RJ45 Ethernet cable which can go 300 ft, but you can either add a hub or a repeater to extend the length. Also if it is really far, you can use fiber... 2km/1.24 miles (multimode fiber) up to 14km/8.7 miles (single mode)... Any way, I have worked on Fetak PLC communicate with a SCADA software through both COM port and Ethernet which can work very well. You may download the free trial and have a simple test after you have the cable. Download software: KingView Package Free online presentation and training is provided. Luna Kan ICP DAS USA, Inc.
