Silent Master Port Considerations
In the Silent Master port configuration, one Modbus master device and one or more Modbus slave devices can be connected as a Modbus network at the port. This allows the master device to address the slave devices directly, as well as to address other devices at other ports on the same BM85 or across Modbus Plus.
In the Silent Master configuration, the slave devices on the port must have unique addresses in your application. They must not be the same as a node address (1 ... 64) on the BM85's local Modbus Plus network. They must also not exist as entries in the Modbus Address Map table that you setup within the BM85.
The Modbus addresses in the master's queries to the slave devices at the Silent Master port must not map beyond the port
