Testing communication/data transmission
The communication/data transmission on the Ex-HMI can be tested with the help of a terminal program or a
software keyboard wedge.
A software wedge or other application must be installed on the Ex-HMI for data transmission
when using a supply module Ex i.
The software wedge or other application is used to convert the incoming data to a keyboard
entry and to enter the data into the field currently active on the host PC.
Terminal program
The test with a terminal program described below was conducted with the H-Term application.
Alternatively any other terminal program that supports serial communication may be used.
