Question

Can the WinPLC be used with an operator interface?

Answer

Yes, the C-More and C-More Micro panels have Entivity Modbus drivers.

C-More panels can use Modbus RTU(serial) and Modbus TCP/IP(Ethernet).

C-More -R panels do not have Ethernet.

C-More Micro panels can use Modbus RTU(serial) only.



The WinPLC must have Modbus RTU enabled, this is set in the I/O view and is off by default.


Both require that the Think and Do project be saved to disk so you can reference the .MAP file for the I/O mapping in the device driver configuration.


Note!
If you make changes to the WinPLC project you must re-read the .map file for the addresses to be corrected in the panel.

Also note that String Tags > S-192 cannot be read from the WinPLC as they do not have Modbus Addresses for tags greater than S-192
