1. Introduction
The VMX series is a product line of Human Interface Machines (HMI) which interfaces
to our ACE, DMX and PMX products. The module provides the user with a touch screen
interface for applications that do not allow PC control.
The communication methods of the VMX series are RS-232 and RS-485.

HMI to PC
HMI programs are downloaded / uploaded via RS-232.
HMI
PC
COM1/COM2 (DB9)
Note on VMX-30 – HMI to PC
VMX-30 only has one physical COM port. Therefore downloading/uploading code and
communication with an Arcus controller will need to use the same single port. This will
require that the user switch cables when changing between these two modes of operation.
For models with two DB9 ports (COM1 and COM2) either port can be used to
download/upload HMI program information. By the same token either COM port may be
used as the communication port to the Arcus controller.
