communication
protocol
The
digital
communication
protocol
is
based
on
standard
Modbus
RTU
Half
‐
plex
mode.
A
master
(PC
or
PLC)
can
communicate
with
multiple
slaves
(the
current
product)
for
data
exchange
and
communication
parameter
configuration.
5.6.1
Hardware
connection
The
hardware
layer
is
TIA/EIA
‐
485
‐
A,
as
illustrated
below.
In
this
configuration,
the
product
(MF5700)
is
a
slave.
