69 **General**
70
71 HMI could communicate with PLC and support many PLC protocols.  It is easy to operate and set communication parameters. This demo shows how to make a communication with PLC device, use WECON LX3V Series PLC as an example.
72
73 **Protocol settings**
74
75 The communication between two devices requires a protocol. The following contents show the steps of protocol settings.
76
77 Please select the protocol, when creating a new project.
78
79 1. Select the COM port for communication;
80 1. PLC type: It means PLC brand, like WECON;
81 1. PLC model: It shows the model of PLC, such as LX3V;
