Modicon device driver

Modicon

The device driver is used for SK HMI to read and write the data or state of Modicon NEZA/TWIDO/M218 series PLC register. The serial communication connection is established through the serial port on the touch screen and the serial port of Modicon NEZA/TWIDO/M218 series PLC, so as to operate Modicon NEZA/TWIDO/M218 series PLC. Prior to use of the driver, one shall carefully read related technical specifications of the chapter and Modicon NEZA/TWIDO/M218 series PLC.
