Configure the Controller Modbus Slaves
You have to configure the communication parameters for each Modbus slave you
implement within the AADvance controller. Do the following:
1) Select the Modbus Slaves tab.
The 9110 Modbus Slaves Editor dialog box opens.
2) In the Name column, locate the processor and slave you wish to configure.
3) Set the Connection field, click Apply.
The Id, Port and Protocol fields are set to their default values.
4) If you set the Connection to a serial port, the Id field represents the Slave ID; set
the Id field or accept the default value.
Note: The Port field does not apply for a serial connection, and is disabled.
5) If you set the Connection to Ethernet, do the following:
Set the Protocol field, click Apply.
Note:As a Modbus slave, the controller supports Modbus RTU, using a serial or
Ethernet connection; and Modbus TCP, using an Ethernet connection. You can
configure a combination of connections for the Modbus slaves, subject to a limitation
of no more than two Modbus RTU slaves using serial communications for each
processor.
The Id field represents the Unit ID; set the Id field or accept the default value.
