Configuring Modbus

Modbus Slave Settings
When you have Modbus Slaves on the serial side of the IOLAN, configure the serial port to the
Modbus Gateway profile acting as a Modbus Slave. There is only one Slave Gateway in the IOLAN,
so all Modbus serial Slaves must be configured uniquely for that one Slave Gateway; all serial
Modbus Slaves must have unique UIDs, even if they reside on different serial ports, because they all
must be configured to communicate through the one Slave Gateway.
