D-500L Firmware V-5.8
K35D03-EN - 133 -
Modbus Slave Address:
may be set between 1 and 240
RS-485 Enable:
must be set to 1 (or checkbox enabled)
RS-485 Baud Rate:
selectable between 2400 and 57600 bauds. All devices in the same network must
use the same Baud Rate.
The complete RS-485 port specifications are found in the
D-500/700 User Manual
.
Selecting a higher baud rate will allow faster communication, but will reduce the communication distance.
Selecting a lower baud rate will increase the communication distance, but will cause slower response
times.
Typically 9600 bauds will allow 1200m distance with special balanced 120 ohms cable.
16bit variables:
These variables are stored in a single register. Bit_0 denotes the LSB and bit 15
denotes the MSB.
32 bit variables:
These variables are stored in 2 consecutive registers. The high order 16 bits are in the
first register and the low order 16 bits are in the second register
Bit arrays:
Arrays larger than 16 bits are stored in multiple registers. The LSB of the first register is bit_0.
The MSB of the first register is bit_15. The LSB of the second register is bit_16. The MSB of the second
register is bit_31, and so on.
