Configuring the MES1A/B

Serial TX Delay after RX

When the MES1A/B receives a request from a master it relays the request to the Modbus slave connected to the MES1A/B’s serial connection. When the slave responds a timer is triggered and, after the delay time configured in the Serial TX Delay after TX field, the next master request is allowed to pass through the serial connection to the slave. When using 2-wire RS-485 connections, this delay value can be set to ensure that RS-485 devices have time to disable their drivers and enable their receivers to receive the next request. Typically this is not a concern and the default value is 0. The delay can be set to a maximum of 1275 milliseconds.

Swap 4x/0H to Get 3x/1x

This field allows you to configure the MES1A/B to convert holding register (4x) data to input register (3x) data, and convert coil (0x) data to contact (1x) data. This is useful when connecting to Modicon I/O scanners.

5) Unit ID to IP Address Lookup Table Settings

The Configuring Unit ID to IP Address Table Settings section of the Configuration Menu becomes available if the MES1A/B has been configured as a Modbus Master in Configuration Menu section 2).

From Configuration Menu section 5) you can configure:

whether to Close Idle TCP Sockets after a specified number of seconds

whether to enable Redundant entry retries after a specified number of seconds

the Unit ID to IP Address Lookup Table

Figure 19. Unit ID -> IP Address Table Settings Menu

Close Idle TCP Sockets After

The Close Idle TCP Sockets After field allows you to configure whether a socket is held open, or the number of seconds to hold the last socket open.
