5. Select gateway type and fill in the appropriate port configuration
data. These settings are determined in conjunction with the gateway
DIP switch settings. Refer to the Eagle 2000 hardware instruction
manual (form number 95-8424) for switch setting information.
Port 2 of the Gateway can be configured for either Modbus master
or slave operation.
As a Modbus RTU master, it actively “feeds” a copy of its datatables
to a slave PLC. When set for the master mode, enter the PLC address
in the Modbus Address field under Port 2 Config.
When set for the slave mode, enter the gateway address in the
Modbus Address field. (The address in the Modbus Address field
should be the address of the slave device.)
The Master Data Offset specifies where in the slave PLC’s register
memory (40,000 registers) the data from the Eagle system will
begin.
