The Simulator generates analog values ranging from 0 (zero) to 65535. As this exercise needs values inside another range, let's enable a scale function.

Testing communication
NOTE |
In case Elipse Modbus Simulator is closed or stopped, Tags appear in red, indicating a communication error, as shown on the next figure. When reopening or reactivating the simulator, the connection is reestablished in the period of time indicated by the Retry failed connection every n seconds option on this Driver's Setup tab, which in this Tutorial was configured to 20 seconds. |
