Linking Device FG-110 FF - Internal Web Server

4.5.5 <Configuration><Modbus>

The Linking Device allows traditional control systems access to modern fieldbus devices as well as over the serial port RS485 and using TCP/IP. These control systems normally include support for the Modbus communication protocol.

4.5.5.1 <Configuration><Modbus><Communication>

Click <Configuration><Modbus><Communication> to configure the Modbus Communication settings. First check if the Modbus function is enabled and all parameters are set to a valid value. Therefore consult the manual of your particular Modbus client and adjust the Modbus configuration accordingly.

Most of these settings are self-explanatory and are related to configuring the serial port to match the settings used by the Modbus Master.

If you are using Modbus TCP/IP over the Ethernet then the communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) can be ignored.

To apply the changes click <Change Settings>.
