1 INM MTL83xC PC Modbus Rev 1
DRAFT - 06 January 2019
1 INTRODUCTION
The MTL83xC is a temperature (and mV) measuring system. It consists of an
MTL838C and one or two MTL831C modules. See the datasheet EPS830C
and installation manuals INM838C and INM831C for these modules for further
details. The main interface on the MTL838C which concentrates the data from the
MTL831Cs is Modbus
®
RTU (RS485). A separate document covers the MTL838C
Modbus
®
implementation (INM MTL838C-MBF).
This document covers the operation of the PC software that is used to configure
and monitor the system.
1 .1 PC Requirements:
The MTL83xC PC software will run on a Windows
®
7, 8, or 10 computer.
This is a small application that doesn’t require a lot of space, memory, or processor
speed. A USB cable is used to connect to the MTL838C (USB-C) – not part of the
MTL838C – purchase separately.
