How to Connect a Productivity P1-550 PLC to a Monitouch TS2060 HMI
How to Build the Cable and Configure Communication Between a Productivity P1-550 PLC and a Monitouch TS2060 HMI

1.) How are you trying to connect? RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet??
2.) Which Port? CN1 & MJ1/2?
Wiring pinouts for both units are at the below links. You can use them to figure out the wiring configuration for building a cable:

RS-485 and MJ1: apparently, I had the HMI wiring configuration wrong. Now I’m just looking at how to read, for example, an HMI switch from the PLC via Modbus RTU.

Modbus addresses can be assigned in the TagDB within the Productivity Suite software and accessed through your HMI. For guidance on implementing this in Monitouch specifically, please refer to their official documentation, as I don't have direct experience with that platform.

Thank you very much, I was able to make the connection between the PLC and the HMI.
