Serial Port Profiles

Modbus Slave Advanced Settings Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

TCP/UDP Port The network port number that the Slave Gateway will listen on for both TCP and UDP messages.

Default: 502

Next Request Delay A delay, in milliseconds, to allow serial slave(s) to re-enable receivers before issuing next Modbus Master request.

Range: 0-1000

Default: 50 ms

Enable Serial When enabled, a UID of 0 (zero) indicates that the message will be broadcast to Modbus Broadcasts all Modbus Slaves.

Default: Disabled

Request Queuing

When enabled, allows multiple, simultaneous messages to be queued and

 

processed in order of reception.

 

Default: Enabled

Embedded

When this option is selected, the address of the slave Modbus device is

 

embedded in the message header.

 

Default: Enabled

Remapped

Used for single device/port operation. Older Modbus devices may not include a

 

UID in their transmission header. When this option is selected, you can specify

 

the UID that will be inserted into the message header for the Modbus slave

 

device. This feature supersedes the Broadcast feature.

 

Default: Disabled

Remap UID

Specify the UID that will be inserted into the message header for the Slave

 

Modbus serial device.

 

Range: 1-247

 

Default: 1
