Modbus Connection for VIBROCONTROL 18xx via
VIBROCONTROL 1803/04
Go through the following steps to set up Modbus TCP communication of the VC-18xx devices via
the LAN interface in the VC-1803/04.
1.
Set up a LAN connection via the Ethernet interface on the VC-1803/04
The RS-485 interface makes it possible to connect multiple VC-18xx modules with each other
using the VC-1803/04 communication module.
2.
Connect the VC-1803/04 communication module with one or more VIBRONTROL 18xx
devices via the RS-485 interface
(see also 9.2 RS-485 interface).
Making Settings with the Modbus Program:
1.
Open the Modbus program, for example "ModScan32" or "Modbucfg."
2.
Configure the Modbus program according to the IP network.
3.
Query measured values via the register addresses
NOTE
Only one unique IP address may be assigned for a VC-1803/04 module. It multiple VC-803/04
modules are being used, IP addresses must not be assigned double.
Setting up a connection via Compact Setup software
4.
Open the "Compact Setup" software
5.
