    I have not.

    It should not be difficult. Select the ModbusTCP driver in Crimson, assign the modbus addresses in P2K and in G3. (The last I looked, there is no support for the PxK address space [Borg] in Crimson.)

     

    Have you made any progress, or just feeling your way around the project's scope?

      Way too expensive, we switched to the Weintek CMT HMI panels. Much cheaper and lot more features. Been trying for years to get ADC to carry them. Don't understand why they won't. Even had ours name branded.

       

      One reason I love them is they natively import the Productivity database right into the HMI software (which is free) so we can still use tag names in the PLC and HMI without having to resort to address cross checking.

    Yes, I have a P2000 CPU connected to a Red Lion G3 series HMI using Crimson 3.0, but the details would be the same.

     

    I used the Modbus TCP/IP Master driver and set the word ordering "High Then Low" for Long Blocks and Real Blocks (on the Device settings page in Crimson)

     

    I think I used the default settings for the Modbus TCP server in the Project Properties in PSuite.

     

    You do need to mark the tickbox for "Remote Access" for any tags you set up with Modbus addresses that need to be available to the HMI.
