11.2. Ethernet
Ethernet can be used to connect to the server as an alternative to GPRS.
MelcoREMOTE has a 10BASE-T Ethernet controller built in to allow the unit to connect to the server via a corporate
Ethernet network, using standard Cat5/Cat6 cable.
MelcoREMOTE supports DHCP but can be assigned a static IP address instead if required.
It is recommended to check the connection settings are correct before plugging in the Ethernet cable for
the first time – see the
Configuration and Commissioning
section.
11.3. Modbus
I/O
Module
MelcoREMOTE can be set to be a standalone Modbus I/O module which does not require a server connection.
MelcoREMOTE then acts as a Modbus RTU Slave and/or Modbus TCP Slave device to allow the current I/O values to
be accessed.
To enable I/O Module mode the Connection Type must be set to ‘
None (slave)
’. See the
Configuration and
Commissioning
chapter for more details.
The
Modbus Slave Register tables
sections provides more information on Modbus for I/O Module mode.
