Hi Wiiliam,

According to something I just found on the Web, the Honeywell S9000 can communicate via Modbus RTU.

"On the logic processor module located at the far right in the Processor chassis there is a 25 pin D-sub. This port is RS-422/485 and can be configured as Modbus RTU slave. This will give direct access to the data in the logic processor and you can move data to/from the CCC configuration with blocks in CCC. "

If that is true, then you can use the Modbus driver that I recently wrote:

http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/modbus

My driver supports TCP/IP, serial RTU, and serial ASCII.

Mark

Subject: Honeywell S9000 driver

Hello,
Is there an IOC driver/device developed for the Honeywell S9000 series PLC?  We are looking at migrating our existing Honeywell Experion/SCAN3000 system to EPICS, but we have about ten of these PLCs installed.  I am also looking for driver support for the Allen Bradley SLC 5/05E.  I have found two Open Source drivers, one being TUXEIP, but I do not see the SLC 5/05 listed on the supported hardware list.  Any help, info would be greatly appreciated.
