Pool Equipment Automation Suggestion

From above:
 
"I use a Digi One SP to convert from RS485 to IP. I ended up setting the termination dip switch on the serial converter, as the IntelliTouch Controller seemed to be having difficulties sending data otherwise (yes, I did connect the ground wire)."
 
And once on the network you can install their driver to create a virtual serial port.

I have read, including above, that some h/w versions have the labels on DT+ & DT- (A & B ) swapped, which will be obvious when you look at the data stream and see the bits inverted.
 
I had forgotten about this topic for quite some time and just stumbled back to it today. As I'm still limited due to an accident back in January, I can't get out to the pool equipment area to play with this but I will be able to soon. Time to get a better RS485 interface and try again....
