Installing Hardy Modbus-Link
If you do not have a PLC or other client, Hardy has provided
the Hardy Modbus-Link Client to communicate with the HI
3000 module. For the sake of clarity the Client/Server defini-
tions are as follows:
• Client - The module asking for data.
• Server - The module providing the data.
The Hardy Modbus-Link will not work without the key. To
purchase the Modbus Option with the key, contact your local
Hardy Instruments Representative or Hardy Instruments,
Customer Service.

HI 3000 Instrument you will find a copy of the

the application from there.

tion is complete a Hardy Modbus-Link icon appears
