Hi, Has anyone communicated to an MDrive with a D2-DCM? If so any sample code that you have would help greatly. I am actually communicating to 3 MDrive units and was wondering if I need 3 D2-DCMs? Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't think you will be able to use DCMs to talk to this device. The only protocol that the DCM can master with is DirectNet. Do those drives do DirectNet? The DCM can be a MODBUS slave but not a MODBUS master.
