Once the HMI is configured as a MODBUS device, the data of HMI can be read or written via MODBUS protocol. As shown in the following figure, the HMI is configured as a MODBUS device (also called MODBUS Server). The HMI, PC or other devices can use MODBUS protocol to read or write HMI data via Ethernet or RS-232 / RS-485 interface. To configure the HMI as a MODBUS device, add a new device in the device list first. Click [PLC type] drop-down box and select “MODBUS Server” driver. There are six selections for [PLC I/F]: RS-232 / RS-485 2W / RS-485 4W / Ethernet / USB / CAN. Choose the PLC interface appropriate for your PLC model. If [PLC I/F] is set to [RS-232] or [RS-485], please select [COM] (COM 1 ~ COM 3) and set correct communication parameters as shown in the following figure. MODBUS Server [Station no.] is set to 1.
