I'm using an Twido Plc with Magelis XBT-N401, comunication cable XBT Z 968, Modbus protocol, but it is no comunication between. Modbus is the only protocol I can chose on both units.Any ideeas?

Check for the manuals on www.telemecanique.com. I think you should be able to select Unitelway for this connection, not Modbus.

Hi The cables have changed, you need a xbt9780 and you need to use modbus protocol

Hi Tournier... Exactly the same problem I'm facing with XBTN400(2). I'm struggling to achieve communication betwween the Twido PLC & XBT. Can you explain what exactly you did. I'm eager to know. Regards, Thanks and best wishes Raj S. Iyer
