3.5.1 DISCOVER YOUR SLAVES
Using the “Discover” option, you can let the SmartSwarm device self-learn the Modbus slave network.
Actually, your SmartSwarm device has been self-learning already. Your device has been physically connected to
the Modbus network since the beginning of this workflow. The Modbus configuration settings were deployed to
the device in an earlier step.
The Device will continuously learn from the actual Modbus data traffic, even after the initial learning period.
As the SmartSwarm device is a passive sniffer device, the time it takes for it to learn all of the Modbus slaves and
registers is outside of the control of the device. It depends entirely upon how the Modbus Master is configured.
We recommend that you initially leave your device running on the Modbus network for a period of time - maybe
10 or 15 minutes. At this time the device will have learned from the Modbus traffic. It is likely that it won’t have
learned everything in this amount of time, but it should have learned enough to enable you to carry on to the
enrichment steps.
Now go to the “
Decoder
” screen, and click on “
Sync Maps
”.
