EnronModbus tab

The available options on this tab are described on the next table.

Available options on the EnronModbus tab

Option

Description

Use default Slave Address

Enable this option to communicate with a single default slave ID, defined in the Default Slave Address field, regardless of the value informed for the N1 or B1 parameter of Block or PLC Tags

Protocol Format

Select the communication format of the Enron Modbus protocol, RTU (binary) or ASCII (text). When communicating in Ethernet mode, enable the Use Modbus TCP on Ethernet option to encapsulate the Enron Modbus protocol in a default Modbus TCP message

Memory Address

Table with the initial and final addresses for each type of register that compose a device's memory map. Please check tables Available options on the Registers tab, Available options on the Events tab, and Available options on the History tab for more information about this option

List Functions

Table with user-defined function codes to link to the N2 or B2 parameter of PLC or Block Tags. Please check table Available options for functions for more information

 

Available options on the Registers tab

Option

Description
