75 **General**
76
77 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.
78
79 **Protocol settings**
80
81 The communication between two devices requires a protocol. The following contents show the steps of protocol settings.
82
83 Please select the protocol, when creating a new project.
84
85 1. Select the COM port for communication;
86 1. PLC type: It means PLC brand, like WECON;
87 1. PLC model: It shows the model of PLC, such as LX3V;
