I have been using National Instruments Lookout for the HMI on a number of smaller projects using the DL205 (260 CPU) and serial communications. For larger projects I have been using the Allen Bradley SLC505 with Ethernet communications (MUCH faster communications). Now that there is a Do-More CPU with Ethernet, I'm wondering if Lookout's Modbus Ethernet driver would work?

Modbus/TCP - it should work. The H2-DM1E built-in Ethernet port supports Modbus/TCP Slave without any configuration (other than the DM1E's IP address/Subnet Mask), so Lookout's Modbus/TCP Ethernet driver should just work.

Thank you for your quick response! I will give the new CPU a try.
