Posted 24 Feb 2018 Recently went to a site where the HMI was connected to the programming port of the FX PLC. Had to keep disconnecting the HMI to connect the SC 09 cable from the laptop. Are there any port duplicators (or similar) to be able to connect both the HMI and laptop at the same time. (HMI was not Mitsi and had no "pass through") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 25 Feb 2018 Thank you kraykov - these adaptors look ideal. I was thinking about "portable adaptors" that I could just put in the tool case and use if required (temporarily) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Feb 2018 (edited) Hi Moggie, Is there no transparent mode available in the HMI panel? Transparent mode allows you to programm trough the port of your HMI directly to the PLC. What is the type PLC and the brandname and model of the HMI that you are using? Succes. Best regards, Theo V. Edited 25 Feb 2018 by Theo V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
