Communicate using RS485 with Honeywell DC100L Overtemp Controller to record TC value

[Lester]

I am trying to develop a software interface to request and record the overtemp thermocouple reading from a Honeywell DC100L Overtemp controller using RS485. Any ideas?

Hello,
If you are using a laptop, I would suggest using our NI USB-485. If you are using a desktop, check out PCI-485 or you could check our website Instrument Driver Network to search for a instrument driver specific for your instrument. If you do you can download it on to your instr.lib file in labview and use it in labview under Instrument I/O function pallette.
Let me know if these suggestions helped.
Good luck and have a great day.
Thanks,
