I/O Devices

Set up communication between the Xpanel and other devices:

(1) Select [Tools] - [I/O Device Editor] to open the [I/O Device Editor] window.

(2) Press the icon or right-click within the window and select [Add Device] to begin configuring an I/O Device.

From this point, the user can select a [Connection Type] and [Device Type] to match their target I/O Device. Note that if the specific protocol necessary for a given device isn’t available, Canvas can still communicate with these devices via Modbus. For more information on a specific device type, refer to the Communication Drivers section.
