This example shows some basic data exchanges between a Parker AC30 VFD drive and a Parker Interact Xpress XT HMI over a Modbus/TCP connection.

See the DSELite help document for the ETH block for Modbus/TCP implementation details.

The specific Modbus/TCP settings in the Xpress application are as follows to match up the AC30 DSE Firmware defaults pretty closely.
