iX Talk

We currently communicate iX HMI -> MODBUS -> Kollmorgen KAS

Are there any other protocols we can use for the communications channel between the two?

If there are:
1) What hardware/software/firmware/other would be required to do that?
2) Would we have to recompile or make any other changes to our existing iX user interfaces that we've developed?

Thanks.

Modicon Modbus Driver. If a third party simulation program like Modsim can communicate with a PLC, then there is a good chance that IX Developer will work with the PLC.
