Modbus Devices

Modbus Devices are devices that use Modbus communication. A device will contain the slave/unit ID of the Modbus device.

All parameters inside the device will automatically inherit the unit ID from the parent device.

Modbus Device Types:

• Modbus RTU
• Modbus TCP

In case of Modbus TCP, the Modbus Gateway ID is also required. The IP and Port Number will be inherited from this Modbus Gateway (configured in the Control Panel).
