Boiler house conversion.

So, we have three auto flame mini Ml8 controllers and a Trane Tracer MP503.

From my understanding the Tracer only does LonTalk and the auto Flame units are rs485 modbus.

It looks like we'll have to rely on the modbus connection as there isn't a LonTalk Driver.

Any recommendations?

I'm pretty sure you can get a converter/gateway to go from LonTalk to Modbus RTU.

I'd rather buy a PLC, isolators, and relays. It'll end up easier and more reliable.
