Title: yet another newbie
Post by: NYarcher on May 12, 2010, 07:34:27 AM

be gentle....

will be starting an application using a D2-260, cmore micro graphic display EA1-T6CL & 4 sureservo drives.  I hope to communicate with the drives via Modbus.  Oh yeah, this is the first time using Automation Direct hardware and software but am a long time automation code writer...

When you come up with questions (not presumptious, we all do) it will be good to give us some specifics on youor background so we know how to approach answers.
