Limitation of the Ethernet communication protocol
The table below shows the maximum number of communications configured for the general protocol, Free Tag Protocol and CodeSys V3 Protocol on each series model.
(**Only HMI V2.0 System supports Free Tag Protocol and CodeSys V3 Protocol**)

✎Note:
1. N/A* means this series does not support the corresponding protocol
2. (2.0)* means the 3000ig Series only support 3rd party manufacturer on HMI V2.0 system, but will not available after upgrade into HMI V3.0.
3. The OPC UA Server is configured through the Data tool, not the Communication parameter settings. Only one configuration is valid, so the recommended quantity for creating protocols is not applicable to the OPC UA Server.
