Paramete rs
SmartLinx Reserved (P750 to P769)
These parameters are reserved for optional SmartLinx communications cards and vary by
card. Refer to the SmartLinx documentation to determine if any of them are used.
Communications (P770 to P782)
The MultiRanger communication ports are configured by a series of parameters that are
indexed by port. See the
Communications
section on page 89 for a complete description
of communications set-up.
Communication parameters are indexed to these communication ports, unless otherwise
noted:

P770 Port Protocol

The communications protocol used between the MultiRanger and other devices.
The MultiRanger supports the internationally recognized Modbus standard in both ASCII
and RTU formats. Other protocols are available with optional SmartLinx cards.

P771 Network Address

The unique identifier of the MultiRanger on the network.
For devices connected with the Siemens Milltronics protocol this parameter is ignored.
For devices connected with a serial Modbus slave protocol, this parameter is a number
from 1-247. The network administrator must ensure that all devices on the network have
unique addresses. Do not use the value 0 for Modbus communications as this is the
broadcast address and is inappropriate for a slave device.
