(f) Fill in the fields in the RS-485 tab (following figure), then click <Next>.
This tab (following figure) refers to the RS-485 port on the /100 series module.
Therefore, it needs to be filled-in only if the /100 series module has other
modules connected to it via the RS-485 link. These “other” modules can be either
/200 series or /100 series [used in “RS-485” mode].
Protocol - Select <Modbus ASCII Passthru>.
Baud Rate – A value of 9600 is adequate for most purposes. However, you may need to use a
higher baud rate, especially if you are connecting a large number of modules using the RS-485
link.
All interconnected modules must be set to the same baud rate.
Mode, Lead Time, Lag Time - Accept the defaults (click on the Help button for more information
on these parameters).
Timeout - Recommended value is 0.3 seconds
