Communication Setup: Xpanel
Create a new device | To create a new device, go to [Tools] - [I/O Devices] or click the  I/O Device Name: Give a device name. This name will be used in the Tag configuration window of the database accompanied by the station name. |
Select a device type
| After selecting the [Ok] button on the previous step, the‘Serial Communication Configuration’dialog box will be popped up as shown in following picture.  In this window, select ‘LSIS Master-K H-Series PLC Cnet’ as the ‘Device Type’ and configure the appropriate communication parameters. Ensure that those parameters are matched with the device’s configuration. |
Create a station | Move to the [Station] tab of the ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ dialog box. In this dialog box, all the connected PLC stations can be configured and registered to the Xpanel.  Each field can be configured as follows: Station Name: Give a name to the PLC. This name will be used in the database window accompanied by the 'Device Name’. Station Type: Choose the ‘Master-K 500/1000’’ (no other type can be selected). Network ID: This field has no meaning in this driver (ignored in runtime). Station No.: This number must be matched with the one of PLC. 16Bit Data Swap: This field has no meaning in this driver. 32Bit Data Swap: This field has no meaning in this driver. Using Checksum: This field has no meaning in this driver. Comm. Error Message Pop Up: When this item is checked, Xpanel displays a communication error message box for every Rx and Tx error. Otherwise (unchecked), Xpanel does not display a message for communication errors. This message box will close automatically after a few seconds. |

Communication Cable Wiring
RS-232C |  |
RS-422 |  The wiring in the terminal resistance must be 330 Ω. To improve the stability of communication, devices should connect through SG, using STP cables. Shielded cables must be earthed. |
RS-485 |  The wiring in the terminal resistance must be 120 Ω. When using RS-485, connect SDA and SDB, but disconnect RDA and RDB. To improve stability of communication, devices should connect through SG, using STP cables. Shielded cables must be earthed. |
