Create Links to Modbus Slaves

A slave link represents the connection between a Modbus master object and a server.

The AADvance Workbench represents each slave link by a slave object, one object for
each server.

Note: If you have configured the master object for Modbus TCP (with Ethernet
communications), create only one slave link for the master object.

To create a slave link, do the following:

1) Select the Equipment tab on the Project tree view and locate the Modbus master

object to which you will add the slave link.

2) Right-click on the Modbus master object and select Add Slave.

A slave link object is inserted below the Modbus master object.

A default name is allocated to the object; the name includes the number of the

processor module and the number of the master, with a serial number for the
slave object. You can change the name when you configure the object.

3) Create additional slave links as needed, one for each Modbus slave device.

You can now configure the Modbus slave link objects.

Note: If you create multiple slave links for a Modbus RTU master and then
choose to reconfigure the master for Modbus TCP, you must keep one slave link

and delete all of the others. Right-click on each unwanted slave link in turn and
select Remove Slave.
