Modbus TCP Sample Project available?

Post by rkoski »

This is my first project with your products. I'm using iX and a T7A, trying to connect to a Galil controller. I have the unsupported Galil driver but I can't figure out how to use it and the supporting documentation is pretty light. So, I'll try to use the Modbus slave or master drivers. Are there any sample projects available demonstrating the use of the galil or modbus tcp drivers? Thanks much...

Here is a link on where to find the driver help file. You just need to put the Modbus address you are referencing into the tag column with the name of your controller. If my controller is called Controller1, then you can type in 40001 as the address in the Controller1 column on the tags tab.

I found the help file, I just didn't get that much from it. A simple project would really be helpful, I'm new to this. Anything available? Thanks again...

iX Developer comes with sample projects. When you start up iX Developer, there is a Open projects tab and a Sample Projects Tab. The only place that has anything to do with the Controller in iX Developer is in that controller column. We do not have sample projects that use controllers because you need to have the controller configured in a way that will work with the HMI.
