Hello everyone; We are replacing a bunch of existing Siemens S5 and S7 PLCs with AD DL205 and DL405 PLCs, and I will be needing to talk to couple of old Siemens Comfort Panels. The choice of comm seems to be Modbus RTU, as it's the only language they share. I'm sure this is achievable, and was wondering if anyone out there has tackled this concept before. It will doubtless be complex and take time, so if there's some pitfalls anyone knows about to help me avoid, that would be most appreciated. If not, I'll be sure and post the journey here so people can benefit from my impending mistakes. Thanks, Speakerman.

Wishing you good luck with this one, I'm still too novice to offer any advice of converting the step 5 code to a ladder or stage setting. Keep us posted..
