manual configuration, the communication is limited to display, for Modbus TCP these
devices cannot be configured. Devices of this nature are:

The special characteristics, as well as the pertinent configuration to carry out correct Modbus
TCP connection are specified in the corresponding sections of each device.

the same network as the computer containing the program.

the ‘Converter Address’, it will ask if you want to assign a new IP address to the converter.
