RTS Off
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of

data is sent before the RTS modem signal will be set low.

Minimum Response Delay
0 to 65535
This parameter is used only when the port is configured as a slave. It sets the

number of milliseconds to wait before responding to a command received on the

port from a remote Master. This delay is sometimes required to accommodate

slower Master devices.

Use CTS Line
Y

ES

or N

O

This parameter specifies if the Clear To Send (CTS) modem control line is to be

used or not. If the parameter is set to N

O

, the CTS line will not be monitored. If

the parameter is set to Y

ES

, the CTS line will be monitored and must be high

before the module will send data. Normally, this parameter is required when half-

duplex modems are used for communication (2-wire). This procedure is

commonly referred to as hardware handshaking.

Slave Address
1 to 255
This parameter defines the Slave Node Address for the internal database. All

requests received by the port with this address are processed by the module.

Verify that each device has a unique address on a network. Valid range for this

parameter is 1 to 255.

Bit Input Offset
0 to 4999
This parameter specifies the offset address into the internal Modbus database for

network requests for Modbus function 2 commands. For example, if the value is

set to 150, an address request of 0 will return the value at register 150 in the

database.

Word Input Offset
0 to 4999
This parameter specifies the offset address into the internal Modbus database for

network requests for Modbus function 4 commands. For example, if the value is

set to 150, an address request of 0 will return the value at register 150 in the

database.
