Dear All
I am new here. Is it possible to read/write modbus devices directly using Advanced HMI without a PLC

Yes, AdvancedHMI can communicate directly with devices that support the Modbus protocol

Thank you very much for the reply.
I have 10 energy meters with Modbus RTU communication. The data from all of them are to be logged to a table in a PC. Is this achievable using Advanced HMI?

Do you know of any resources on this topic, Archie?

The main resource would be the manual of the device you will communicate with. The AdvancedHMI drivers use the Modicon style addressing format, so you may have to figure some conversion based on how the manual of the device documents the addresses to use.

There is also some mentioning of the Modbus RTU Energy Meter in this topic:

https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=726.0

Maybe ask the user "Stewart" to provide an update and any other relevant details not already mentioned.

Thank you all for the replies. In my case there are 10 nos. of modbus meters. How they could be read cyclically in Advanced HMI without a PLC?

Dear Archie
I need to achieve the following
I have 10 nos. of energy meters which are connected to a Schneider AS-P module (Sever)
The above module pulls data from the meters and provides the data on BACnet
How can I proceed to get this data in Advanced HMI Application to process it further

According to this page:

 https://help.sbo.schneider-electric.com/Topics/show.castle?id=10547&locale=en-US&productversion=1.8

there are 2 ethernet ports and the second port can be used for Modbus TCP communication, which could allow you to possibly use the AdvancedHMI ModbusTCP driver.
