Modbus Framework
The Modbus Framework feature is a tool to allow the AcquiSuite to read data from any Modbus device by creating a
template in the Modbus Framework editor. The template describes the Modbus register read commands, and the conversion
required for each data point that is to be read. The Framework feature is an advanced feature of the AcquiSuite that requires
the user to be familiar with the Modbus protocol and with the Modbus register point list for the specific Modbus device that
will be used. For more information on the Modbus Framework feature, download the Modbus Framework documentation
from

Sensor List
The sensor list feature works in conjunction with a number of non-Modbus sensors. Sensor devices such as PointSix, BAPI,
and Badger/Orion typically transmit data on a pre-set interval and are not polled by the AcquiSuite. Data is received and
uniquely identified by the sensor's serial number. Each sensor may be given a name, and some have additional options to
configure such as input value scaling.
ModHopper Map
The AcquiSuite has additional diagnostic features that assist with ModHopper deployments. The most useful is the
ModHopper route map. Select the ModHoppers menu from the Wireless section in the AcquiSuite menu tree as shown
below.
The graph will draw a blue box for each ModHopper that is attached to the system. The blue number inside the box icon is
the Modbus address of the ModHopper. To the side of each icon, three lines of information will be shown.
●
The device list name will be shown to the side of each ModHopper icon
●
The link quality, hops and round trip time (rtt) will be printed under the ModHopper name.
●
A list of attached Modbus device addresses will be shown on the third line. This is a list of addresses that the
ModHopper has automatically detected on the local RS485 port.
The graph will print strong links in thick green lines. Lines progress from green, to yellow, to red to indicate weak links.
