Title: Connecting with another PLC
Post by: lemod on March 29, 2007, 11:46:22 PM

Hi,
I'm using T100MD888+. Is it possible to exchange some date between my PLC and GeFanuc 90-30. Both PLC's operate MODBUS protocol and have ethernet module. So, can i use MODBUS or Ethernet module or something else. Please help me.

You can use the READMODBUS and WRITEMODBUS command on the T100MD888+ to communicate with any other MODBUS slave provided the GeFanuc also has the RS232/RS485 port.

Alternatively, if the GEFanuc can be the MODBUS master (I am not sure if that is possible) than it can talk to the T100MD888+ as the MODBUS slave.

Since XServer doesn't support MODBUS/TCP you can't use MODBUS/TCP on the ethernet in this case.
