3. Set the protocol configuration to "Modbus TCP" if there is more than one protocol option.

4. Set the control mode configuration CHCF to "I/O mode".

B) HMI Setup in EOTE

1. Add a Modbus TCP Master driver.

2. Set the IP address and Equipment Address to match the configuration on the ATV Drive.

3. Under variables, add the variables manually. Use the Logic Address information that matches the ATV Drive being used.

Example:
