Modbus Settings
The Modbus Settings page is used to set up the Attached Serial Device type,
Initial delay time, and Modbus/TCP Slave device settings.
NOTE
To modify the settings on this page, first checkmark the Chan
g
e Modbus
Settings box.
The Modbus/TCP Slave device settings are only active if the attached
serial device is set as one of the two Master types.
Choose the Modbus protocol of the attached serial device to determine the
complementary Modbus protocol for the NPort 6110 Modbus Gateway. Four
different types of serial Modbus device can be used. Since the Modbus protocol
is used on a Master-Slave network, there are two steps to consider before starting
the configuration process. The first step is to determine which devices are
Masters and which are slaves (either Ethernet or Serial device). Next, you need
to determine the Modbus protocol that the serial device uses.
