Connect to serial port? #39

Closed ryangriggs closed 3 months ago

ryangriggs commented 3 months ago

Is it possible to connect this library to a PLC via the serial port instead of TCP? I have some Micrologix devices that don't have Ethernet ports, and some SLC devices that aren't near Ethernet connections - would be great if I could read/write via their serial ports. I believe this is DF1 protocol.

Thanks!

We have successfully used this software with Micrologix and SLC 5/03 and 5/04 with a 1761-NET-ENI module. Direct serial support is not planned, so I'll close this with the 1761-NET-ENI as the only solution.
