DATA COMMUNICATION
FieldLogger has several communication interfaces. Among them, we may highlight some that can be used as Modbus
slaves:
• RS485, acting as a slave on the Modbus RTU protocol.
• USB device, acting as a slave on the Modbus RTU protocol.
• Ethernet, acting as a server in the Modbus TCP protocol.
All the configuration of the equipment, as well as the reading of the data of the inputs, are done via Modbus protocol.
In the document "FieldLogger - Modbus.pdf" (in the product CD) is found all the information needed to read data from
the input channels without using the Configuration software. To ensure proper configuration and data download of
FieldLogger, always use the Configuration software. After configuring the equipment, data of its inputs and/or outputs
can be accessed by any other software capable of Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP communication.
