**General**

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;
