Please Note
Please note that Environdata’s software program, EasiAccess, will NOT connect to the MB40 / MB45.
This is because EasiAccess does NOT use the MODBUS protocol.
EasiAccess can connect DIRECTLY to an Environdata Weather Station via either a LAN (TCP/IP)
address or a serial (COM) port. But in both cases, the communication is text commands, and NOT
MODBUS commands.
MODBUSVIEW TCP is a program that can connect via either a LAN (TCP/IP) address or a serial (COM)
port, and does use MODBUS commands. You can get a copy of this program either from the
Environdata EasiAccess distribution CD or download from the Internet at
https://oceancontrols.com.au/OCS-011.html
As a free copy, MODBUSVIEW TCP will work for 15 minutes as a test program. Restarting the
program will provide a further 15 minutes operation, as required.
