Question Can the units communicate to external devices?
Answer The PM/TC/PC controllers don't have any communication capability. The Solo controllers can communicate via RS-485 Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocol as Modbus slaves. We offer free software to use with these controllers to monitor or set them up via a PC, but you will have to convert the RS-485 signal to something your PC can use (typically RS-232).
