Nico76 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Vision or Samba screens can be configured/programmed to communicate with proprietary CAN bus and Serial RS232/485 protocols? Thanks, Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 If you know the protocol structure you can most likely use the protocol send and receive to communicate with the serial devices on RS232/485. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Ausman Posted October 5, 2018 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 And further to Cam's correct advice, if you only have minimal information on the structure, but have the method of proprietary control available, you can likely insert a port monitor system on your PC which will be your best friend, to help decipher things further before transferring deduced results to the plc. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 You can use CANlayer2 FBs for CANbus, and FB protocol for serial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico76 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Awesome. Some great advice and good to know that the HMI with its software is quite flexible. Thanks all for your support. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
