When documenting the system, your report should note the following hardware constraints typical of the PS316:
Typically uses RS-232, but can support RS-485 for distances up to 600m. Modern Alternatives Sucosoft-s30-s316
(v4.13), which provides a Windows-based front end and a path to newer PS4-series PLCs. Control.com Data Addressing in S30 When documenting the system, your report should note
