Communications: COM Ports and DataCom

Communication ports are specific to each UniStream series. You can also add COM modules, available by separate order, to your Hardware Configuration.

UniStream Modular

This series offers HMI touch panels in different dimensions and a CPU that you snap together to create an all-in-on PLC + HMI controller.

UniStream Modular HMI panels comprise:

• 2 Ethernet ports, RJ-45, 10/100MHz

• 2 Type A, USB ports, high speed
  Note that you can enable the serial port for serial, modem, or MODBUS communicationsserial port for serial, modem, or MODBUS communications.
  You can also enable it for HID devicesHID devices.

  Select Enable USB for HID device; modify Delay Time and Keyboard Language as required.

  

  Select Enable USB for Serial Device, click USB Port Settings, then click Initialize Port for: and select the desired communication type.

  Note that enabling the port automatically adds the Panel USB Port struct to use in your program.
  

  

   

   

• 1 Type mini B USB port, high speed

Note that the Panel has its own IP address. This is the IP address for communications such as Web Server.IP address for communications such as Web Server.

UniStream Modular CPUs comprise:

• RS 485
  Note that you can enable the serial port for MODBUS communications.

  MODBUS Slave Properties Window Parameters
  Active	If this bit is ON, this slave will be accessed when MODBUS operations are run.
  Communications	Use this to set whether the MODBUS operations will run via Ethernet or serial port by clicking on the Communications drop-down arrow.
  Slave ID	Enter the ID number of the slave to be accessed
  Slave Name	Assign a name to help you identify the slave

• CANbus

Note that the CPU also has its own IP address. This is the IP address for communications such as TCP Server.IP address for communications such as TCP Server.

UniStream Built-in

This series of PLC + HMI +onboard I/Os comprises:

• 1 Ethernet

• 1 USB host

• 1 Mini-B USB device port

UniStream PLCs

This series of PLCs + onboard I/Os comprises:

• 2 Ethernet ports

• 1 USB host port

• 1 USB device port (Pro (B10) and Standard (B5) models only.

Protocol Ports

Ensure that ports dedicated to specific protocols are accessible. Note that if the PLC is not part of the LAN, the ports may be blocked. In this case, you can configure the router connected to the PLC to open the ports, and forward the ports to the PLC.

 

The protocols listed below use the ports shown in the next table.
