B
DataSite to FactoryTalk View SE Master
This appendix shows how to configure an industrial computer running FactoryTalk View SE
software to communicate with a DataSite unit using Modbus TCP/IP communication. This setup
requires KEPServerEnterprise software V4.0 to configure the communication driver.
This configuration is good for small applications that require data logging capabilities but don't
require a ControlLogix controller to poll multiple DataSite units. Refer to
Appendix A for details
on how to configure a PanelView Plus terminal running Factory Talk View ME software to
communicate with the DataSite using Modbus serial communication.
Before You Begin
•
Download KEPServer Enterprise software V4.0.
•
Connect the DataSite unit to an industrial computer running FactoryTalk View Site Edition
(SE) software.
•
Radios are optional.

TIP
Radios are optional. If your application does not require radios, simply replace the radios
with an Ethernet crossover cable connecting the DataSite to the industrial computer.
