SYSTEM SETUP

NETWORK MODULES

FIELDBUS

 

 

 

Sets up an Modbus slave which is based on individual composition of data from different

 

TELEGRAM

devices.

 

 

 

For details refer to section 5.12 on page 62.

 

 

 

 

MODBUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MODBUS ADRESS

Default value: 0

 

 

Sets the address (1 to 247) of the Modbus slave which was configured in the TELEGRAM menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: DISABLED

 

 

 

Virtual slaves can be added. These slaves are a copy of the real devices which are configured in

 

 

 

the TELEGRAM menu. The Modbus addresses of these slaves follow right next to the address of

 

 

VIRTUAL SLAVES

the configured slave. The first configured device has the Modbus address right next to the

 

 

 

configured slave, the second device has the next but one address etc. (Table 18).

 

 

 

ENABLED: Slave copy is activated.

 

 

 

DISABLED: Slave copy is not activated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: 19200

 

 

BAUDRATE

Sets the communication speed (9600, 19200, 38400 and 57600 baud) of the serial

 

 

 

transmitter/receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

 

STOP BITS

Default value: 1

 

 

Sets the number of used stop bits (1 or 2).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: NORMAL

 

 

 

Sets the sequence of bytes when transmitting floating point values.

 

 

 

Please note, that this setting only affects the data of the configured slave.

 

 

DATA ORDER

A floating point value consists of 4 bytes.

 

 

SWAPPED: Swaps the first pair of bytes with the last pair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NORMAL: The pairs are not swapped.

 

 

 

Note: A wrong setting in this menu can lead to slight deviation of floating point values shifted by

 

 

 

one register.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DEFAULT SETUP

Restores the default values of the Modbus card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simulates two floating point values and error/status to substitute a real instrument.

 

SIMULATION

The first floating point runs through a ramp between the limits set in the menus MAXIMUM and

 

 

 

MINIMUM. Figure 66 shows the simulation mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: NO

 

 

SIMULATION

Turns the simulation on or off.

 

 

YES: Starts a simulation

 

 

 

 

 

 

NO: Stops a simulation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: 10 minutes

 

 

PERIOD

Determines the time the first floating point value needs to run through the whole range between

 

 

 

MINIMUM and MAXIMUM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAXIMUM

Default value: 100

 

 

Upper limit for the first floating point value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MINIMUM

Default value: 50

 

 

Lower limit for the first floating point value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ERROR

Default value: 0

 

 

The value entered in this menu will be set in the first simulated register (Table 15).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS

Default value: 0

 

 

The value entered in this menu will be set in the second simulated register (Table 16).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOGGLE

Changes the direction of the simulated ramp use.
