1. Do you have the full name of the FX PLC? Is it really "FX-16MR"?

2. Which HMI (brand and type)?

Yes the PLC is that one. I have many different Siemens HMIs.

OK, your PLC is ancient so you should consider a replacement. If you have Siemens HMI's then you'll need to ask Siemens (or the Siemens forum here) for help. The PLC has built-in protocols, and it's up to the HMI's to implement client drivers for different PLC brands. Siemens probably have these drivers depending on your panel type.

Further, the cable between the Siemens HMI and the PLC will also be a Siemens specific cable since the HMI is basically the client connecting to the PLC.
