Title: AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter
Post by: larryhts on September 20, 2019, 07:11:46 AM

Has anyone tried to use the Modbus TCP driver with an AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter? I have used them with a P-2 550 PLC from AutomationDirect. I will be trying from an AdvancedHMI PanelPC. Hoping to be able to cut down on equipment needed for small projects in our test lab. Like running some test equipment with just a Panel PC and remote I\O ( no PLC )

I have the Px order coming next week and will set up to try them with AHMI. I’ll post the results.
Thanks

I received the Protos X components yesterday and used the Free software for configuring them to set the IP. The software scans and gives you the modbus addresses for all the I/O you have connected.  It works great and is very inexpensive.
