Can Honewell 620 processor go with ethernet?

[electname13 0]

I am working on a project of putting every processor on the ethernet network for data collection application. We have a quite bit honeywell 620 processors, while majority of the processors are AB. I have no idea about honeywell products. Does any one has experience of hooking up honeywell 620 with ethernet network? Or this type process does not have ethernet capability at all. Thanks!

The quick answer is yes, but you need a card type 620-0060 have a look at this link Honeywell Steve

You need to investigate which protocol is available on the 620 and whether you can handle the requirements of dealing with that specific protocol. Given the era, it might be raw ASCII, Modbus, or some proprietary protocol. If whatever protocol runs on a serial port, there are 'serial server' devices that convert serial to ethernet. But ethernet along is merely the carrier. Getting an ethernet card might not move your project any further along, unless you can deal with the communications protocol that's available.
