... snip Without investing much on the subject, my opinion is that Modbus should be used. I2C was designed to use low voltage signals over very short distances for board level components. Modbus has been designed to work in noisy environments over long distances and is commonly used with VFDs and PLCs. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
