the easiest way to do this would be to add a modbus gateway like this one:

You could use a separate modbus ip to modbus serial gateway. These are cheap. But you also have to take care of the requests poll, it should be slow enough.

Depending on the time you have, you can also open the port, make a request, close it, change equipment id and so on. It it is just for temperature readings, it may work but anyway, with 16 serial equipments on 1 port, you won't have great performances.

You should post your code. There is probably some scaling issue.

Cool, is that something we can expect for the next release? Or as a separe component?

The more robust way (also more expensive) to do this would be either:

- implement direct modbus protocol in your clx plc

- add a prosoft modbus card in your clx plc

- use a gateway

I am not a pro. My goal is not to make a lot of money but AdvancedHMI is a good product with a lot of possibilities, easy and fast to learn. I just wanted to help those who would like to use it but are not confident enought with it. Meanwhile I promote AdvancedHMI... So if you think my post is unacceptable, you can delete it without problem, I'll understand.

Hi all,

If you wanna use Advanced HMI but you don't have the time or the skills (maybe both...), maybe I can help you. I'm a controls engineer here in France. I used to develop scada, VB softwares and of course PLC code for more than 15 years. I mainly worked for steel, water and glass industries, a little bit for automotive. I know some industrila scada systems like WinCC, InTouch, Citect, etc... But for some specific applications, I'd rather develop using VB, it's more flexible (and cheaper too...).
I attached some sample of what I can do. Don't hesitate and contact me if you need more references or explanations.
