Configure a Modbus Slave Link for Modbus TCP
Note: You have to create a single Modbus slave link object below a Modbus master
object configured for Modbus TCP before you can carry out this task.
You have to configure the Modbus TCP slave link to suit the slave device. Do the
following:
1) Select the Equipment tab on the Project tree view and then select the slave link.

The editor for the slave link opens.

The editor has three tabs; the tabs are named General, Messages and Statistics.
2) Select the General tab.
3) Enter a suitable Name for the slave link, or accept the default. You can use any
combination of alphanumeric characters and punctuation, including spaces.
4) Accept the default Unit Id.
Note: The Unit Id is a part of the Modbus TCP header and is not normally
used.
5) Set the IP Address to the network address used by the slave device.
6) Set the TCP Port to the TCP port number on which the slave device is offering
services.
7) Set the Retries field to the number of times the Modbus master should try to
retransmit a message to the slave if it does not receive a response.
Note: The Retries field is used in conjunction with the message timeout value set
for the Modbus master.
