Hey all!
I'm working with an Automation Direct H2-DM1E PLC and have an Weintek mT8070iE HMI. I am trying to figure out how to configure the comms settings on both ends to allow for data transfer. I've got a serial cable running from COM1 on the HMI into the Serial 232 port on the PLC but would also be open to communicating via ethernet.
I'm assuming modbus is the way we will have to do it but I'm not sure how to configure both devices for this.
Here is how I have I have it configured on the HMI:
Here is how I have it configured in the PLC:
Not sure if I did that right. Do I want the PLC to be a set to Modbus RTU Serve (Slave)? Or does it need to be something else?
Lastly, once its communicating. Are the the bits I can transmit to the HMI?
And would MI0-1023 be inputs from the HMI?
Thanks for the help. I've never used either of these brands before so I appreciate your help in getting these talking!
