1. Overview and Operation

Overview
This demo project is for testing Modbus slave communication when connecting
via COM Port or Ethernet.
With Option List Object the communication parameters can be updated and
tested easily and directly on HMI.

Operation
Select the COM Port to be tested and set the relevant communication
parameters:

After setting, push update button to update communication parameters.

To test Ethernet communication, set Ethernet Modbus Server station number.

Please note that the port no. here is read only and can’t be modified on HMI.

2. Setting up the Screen

1. Create 15 Option List Objects, respectively set system registers from

LW-9550 ~ LW-9564 to be monitor addresses. The following takes
LW-9550 as an example.

Option list tab:

[Source of item data] set to Predefine; [Monitor address] set to LW-9550; [Item
no.] must be set according to the range of the register, for LW-9550, the
available value range is 0 ~ 2, which means 3 states in total, therefore set to 3,
and adjust the relevant properties as required.

Mapping tab:

Since the available value range for LW-9550 is 0 ~ 2, please fill in 0, 1, 2

respectively in [Value] column. In [Item data] column, fill in the corresponding
usage: RS232, RS485 2W, RS485 4W.

Please refer to the demonstration above to set the rest 14 Options List Objects

2. Create 4 Numeric Input Objects, respectively set [Read address] to

LW-9541 ~ LW-9544, for setting Modbus Server station number.

3. Create 3 Set Bit Objects, respectively set [Write address] to LB-9030 ~

LB-9032 for updating COM port 1 ~ 3 communication parameter settings.
Set [Attribute] to Momentary.

4. Create a Numeric Display Object, set [Read address] to LW-9133 for

reading Ethernet port number.
