What to know

In JMobile Studio you can define:

• up to 4 communication protocols for eTOP Series HMI,
• up to 2 communication protocols for eSMART Seris HMI.

This FAQ should help you to properly define communication protocols for your project configuration.

PLC Network

If the HMI needs to be connected to more than one PLC using the same communication protocol,
inside the protocol configuration is available the PLC Network checkbox.

In this way you will be able to define more than one slave:

Multiple instances of same protocol

Using PLC Network configuration, in case of serial communication all slaves must use same serial parameters.
If there is needs to communicate with same protocol but using two different serial ports with different communication parameteres
is possible to add the same protocol more than one time (Multiple instances).

This configuration is available only for a limited number of communication protocols, listed below:

• Baldor NextMove,
• CODESYS V2 ETH
• CODESYS V2 SER
• CODESYS V3 ETH
• Fatek FACON ETH
• Keyence KV
• KNX TP/IP
• Koyo DL ETH
• Modbus TCP
• Modbus RTU
• NMEA 0183
• Panasonic FP
• ProConOS ETH
• Saia S-BUS
• System Variables
• Uni-Telway
