Using the T1K–MODBUS Set Up Tool
Configuring the T1K–MODBUS Port
T1K–MODBUS Setup Tool (included with this manual) can be used to configure some of the
MODBUS port communication parameters via the RJ12 serial port. The T1K–MODBUS DIP
switch 4 must be in the ON position in order to use the Setup Tool to configure the
MODBUS port parameters. The configurable parameters include the Stop Bit, Parity Bit, On
Delay Time, Off Delay Time and Communication Time–out. If the DIP switch is in the Off
position, the factory defaults will apply. The Tool allows the T1K–MODBUS Firmware version,
Rotary Address Switches and DIP switches to be read only.
The Setup Tool can run on Windows 95/98/2000/ME
t
or Windows NT
t
(but not
Windows 3.1x
t
). The Tool is included with this manual on three 3.5” diskettes. It is
also available for download from the AutomationDirect web site
(www.automationdirect.com). The installation process places the files in the
C:\Program Files\T1K–MODBUS Setup Tool directory (default).
Place disk 1 of 3 in Drive A or Drive B. Click on the Windows Start button and then
select Run. Type in the path and filename (ex. A:\setup), or click on the Browse
button to find the directory and filename (ex. if the Setup Tool was downloaded from
the web). A series of windows will step through the installation process for disks 1, 2
and 3.
