Hi,
From your description it is not so clear for me what you are trying to do.
Just a few comments:
1. In case you want to use Modbus RTU connection between 2 PM583 using COM1 RS485 ports of each:
one of the PLC have to be a master and the other PLC - slave.
It is not possible to have 2 masters in one serial network segment.
2. In the master PLC you should use COM_MOD_MAST and read/write data from/to the slave.
At the input parameter EN of COM_MOD_MAST you have to provide (connect) pulses.
Each positive front at this input creates request from the master to read/write to the slave.
3. In the slave PLC you only have to declare variables where the master will read/write. The usual format is %MW0.x and %MX0.0.x ...
4. There are so many examples for that kind of connection in ABB site for AC500 and in this forum. You can look for details and working examples.
