Can a Huber unit with Pilot ONE controller be controlled by a PLC via Ethernet, and if so, how?

It is possible to control a new Huber unit with Pilot ONE controller via a PLC/DCS etc.

Pilot ONE controllers have an Ethernet interface included as standard.

Setting up and using the Ethernet connection:

• To activate the connection: in the Pilot ONE control panel navigate to Menu > Interfaces > Ethernet > Remote Access > Always On.
• Set the Huber unit’s IP address as desired.  This setting can be accessed at Menu > Interfaces > Ethernet > IP Address
• Establish a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection to the Huber unit’s IP address and use the TCP port 8101.
• Use the Huber commands:
  PB commands (recommended)
  PP/LAI commands
• You cannot use the Modbus TCP protocol.

For information on the RS232 and AIF (4-20 mA) options for new Huber units with Pilot ONE, please refer to the separate FAQ entries.
