Power plant application.

[AVI.ANK 0]

Hi all, I am using compact logix 5370 L3 controller(1769-L30ER) in hydro power plant application. So I have to now fetch electrical parameters from different brand component i.e. Siemens make General Management Relay which has profinet communication support. So the question now, is it possible to communicate directly with the controller and Siemens relay to display various electrical parameters? If not please suggest me what I can do to communicate with the relay in order to display the parameters in HMI. Awaiting for the replies. Thank you.

Use a gateway device to establish communications between the devices. There's many brands available, but here's a couple suggestions: http://www.anybus.com/ http://www.prosoft-technology.com/
