4.5 Modbus RTU Master
The DXM1200 can be a Modbus RTU master device to other slave devices.
The DXM1200 uses the primary RS-485 port as a Modbus RTU master to control external slave devices. All wired devices
connected to the master RS-485 port must be slave devices. As a Modbus RTU master device, the DXM1200 controls
external slaves connected to the primary RS-485 port, the local ISM radio, local I/O base board, and the local display board.
Use the DXM Configuration Software to define operational settings for both the Modbus RTU master port and the Modbus
RTU slave port.
The basic communications parameters for the RS-485 ports are set in the DXM Configuration Software and are saved in the
XML configuration file. All basic settings are available under Settings > System screen.
Master port parameters include:
• Baud rate and parity
• Set the Communications Timeout parameter to cover the expected time for messages to be sent throughout the
wireless network. For the DXM1200, the Communications Timeout parameter is the maximum amount of time the
DXM1200 should wait after a request is sent until the response message is received from the Modbus slave device.
• Delay Between Messages sets the minimum wait time from the end of a Modbus transaction to the beginning of the
next Modbus transaction.
