PAS600 + HMIST6400 via ModBus TCP

[nicolasjacome]

Hi team, I am trying to connect PAS600 with HMIST6400 through ModBus TCP so I can read certain variables from a PM5560 and some other values from connected PowerTags. I am in early HMI software development but I am wondering how this communication is done before I run out of time to deliver this project. 

In this specific project, I am not using a PLC so the values must be read directly by the HMI. 

I found that in the Operator Terminal Expert software, under System Architecture, I can create a new Drive for SchneiderModBusTCP and then assign an IP address to it. Then, I can create variables with this drive as the source, and then point to the address of the equipment (PM5560) that I want to read. I believe this (in theory) should work for the PM, but then I do not know how to point or read the values of the PowerTags?

If there is any type of solution or suggestion that you have for me, please let me know. I would really appreciate any help.

Hello,

Have you checked this post ? https://community.se.com/t5/Gateways-and-Energy-Servers/PAS800-Compatiblity-with-ST6-HMI/m-p/476152#...

If you want to poll the devices over modbus to display the value on your HMI, you will have to use the modbus registers provided by PAS for the zigbee devices. You will have to use the virtual devices ID.

Modbus table for PAS is available on se.com
