Hi,
I have a project where I have new PLC M241 and an old Magelis XBTGT HMI (XBTGT 5330). The plan is to connect these two with modbusTCP but I have some difficulties to get this to work. I think mostly because the HMI model is deprecated. But for now, I need to work with what I have.
In Vijeo I have selected the modbusTCP driver and I have set my variables as external.
In Machine Expert I have the Generic Modbus TCP slave.
And as you can see, I have an alarm. Which is not so helpful 😕
The Industrial Ethernet Manager is happy though
Does anyone have an idea on where I have messed up? Or where I should continue with my trouble shooting?
Thanks!

If you are using the Modbus Driver you define addresses in VJD, ie 40001 is %MW0 in PLC depending on your settings on the Driver

Hi
You don't need to set in a Modbus Slave in the M241. The PLC should act as a Modbus Server and you have to activate the protocol under the Ethernet interface in Machine Expert
