Okay, so what I need to do, if I'm communicating with the PLC via RS232, and from the PLC to the i-7018 via RS485, is download a program to the PLC which communicates with the i-7018--and then execute that program.
I will eventually be connecting two i-7018 devices to the PLC, can I change the default ID for the second i-7018 via a program sent to the PLC, or do I need to directly communicate with the i-7018 via an RS485 connection to the PC?
