TRi, together with its technology partner: Kessler-Ellis Products, has developed a special driver for this low cost, high resolution LCD touch panel to communicate with the TRiLOGI Super PLCs (Nano-10, FMD, F-series and M-series) using the Native protocol.

Although the Super PLCs' inherent support of MODBUS protocol means that any off-the-shelf MMI that supports Modbus protocol can be used with the Super PLC, these are however limited to accessing the data as 16-bit Modbus words only.

The KEP MMI's support of the native protocol allows direct access to all the variables inside the Super PLC without the need to refer to a Modbus memory map table, thereby simplifying the development of Touch panel program and increasing its flexibility.
