Connecting / Disconnecting
Connect: Pressing the “Connect” button will force the software
to make an attempt to connect to the controller your PC. The
programming cable must be connected. The connect button will
start RED and will remain RED until a connection is made.
The “Assert” check box will indicate “Checked” when the
software makes the attempt to connect.
Once connected, the “Connected” check box will indicate,
“Checked” and the “Connect” button will turn green.
Disconnect: Pressing the “disconnect” button will force the
software to disconnect from the controller your PC is connected
to. Both the “Assert” and “Connected” check boxes will indicate
“Unchecked”.
NOTE: The controller must be “Disconnected” for the master
and slave to communicate with each other.
You may need to make several attempts to connect. Make sure the “Connected” box is
check and the “Connect” button is GREEN, before proceeding.
During the “Connect” process you will notice a series a check marks, in the “Update”
configuration Block, located next to each of the subsystems. This is confirmation that
the configuration software is collecting data from the respective RTU.

Master, Slave, Modbus, Peer-to-Peer
Master: If the controller you are connected to is a Master Peer to
Peer device, the Wireless type will indicate “Master”.
Slave: If the controller you are connected to is a Slave Peer to Peer
device, the Wireless type will indicate “Slave”.
MODBUS: If the controller you are connected to is in MODBUS
mode the Wireless type will indicate “MODBUS”.
P-2-P: P-2-P is also Peer to Peer.
If your system is configured as a Peer to Peer system,
the system must consist of one Master and one Slave.
The Master controller is responsible for starting the
polling sequence.
If your controller is configured as a MODBUS
controller then typical Modbus, Slave, RTU, protocol
applies. Do not allow for duplicate Slave address
within the same system, unless It is on a separate
Radio Id and/or RF-Network ID.
