Issue:
I would like to establish Modbus Serial Communications between a Harmony HMIST6 or HMISTM6 series HMI and a Modicon M340 PLC with the front RJ45 Modbus Serial Port (Part Numbers BMXP341000, BMXP342000, BMXP342020). What cable do I use?
Product Line:
Harmony HMIST6: HMIST6200, HMIST6400, HMIST6500, HMIST6600
Harmony HMISTM6: HMISTM6200, HMISTM6400
Modicon M340: BMXP341000, BMXP342000, BMXP342020
Environment:
Modbus Serial Cabling between HMI and PLC
Resolution:
This table below lists all possible connection types between the HMIST6/HMISTM6 models and the M340 PLC with the associated required Serial Cable:
