Programming the MND using APG Modbus So ware
The MND’s “Setup” communica ons type (see C-TYPE on page 17) allows the MND to be
programmed using so ware instead of the bu ons on the display. The so ware used
to program the MND is the same so ware used to program any of APG’s line of Modbus
sensors (MNU, MP, PT series). Interfacing with the so ware also allows the user to save
MND confi gura ons to a PC, or to write a previously saved confi gura on back to the
MND (see page 24).
Use the following steps to establish communica ons and program the MND via the APG
Modbus so ware:
Step 1: Use the bu ons on the MND to enter the Communica ons menu and change the
Communica ons Type (C-TYPE) to “SETUP”.
Step 2: While s ll in the MND Communica ons menu, take note of the Sensor Address
(SENAdR) se ng. This se ng will become the MND’s address when communica ng to
the so ware.
Step 3: Install and run the APG Modbus so ware.

Step 4: Click on “Confi gure” in the top menu,
then select “Communica on” to bring up the
Communica on Confi gura on window.
