Varec 4000 manual Modbus Support over Mark/Space Host Interface

4000 Theory of Operation

7.11Modbus Support over Mark/Space Host Interface

The ATT permits Modbus communications over the Mark/Space data highway. The Modbus request message is placed into a Mark/Space message frame. The ATT processes the request message and places the Modbus reply in a Mark/ Space reply frame.

This option is only available with systems using the Model 6840 Tank Polling Unit.

7.12Compatibility with Varec Tank Polling Unit

The Mark/Space communications provided by the ATT are compatible with the Varec Tank Polling Unit (TPU). This permits the ATT to be multi-dropped on the same Mark/Space data highway as the Varec 1800, Varec 1900, and MFT/ HIU devices.

If the EIA485 communications interface is installed in the ATT, it can be multi-dropped on an EIA485 data highway, RTU 8130 along with any Modbus compatible device, including the Model 6850 Field Interface Converter.
