Modbus Auxiliary Map
The Modbus Auxiliary Map configuration is shown in the figure below. This table will
be enabled when
Enable Modbus Auxiliary Mapping
has been enabled in the
Modbus tab and configured for Modbus Master. This will allow the user to read
and/or write any internal PLX51-PBM Modbus Register to any Modbus Slave. Up to
20 Modbus Slaves can be connected and up to 200 mapped items can be
configured.
IMPORTANT: When Modbus Auxiliary Mapping is enabled, the automatic polling of referenced Modbus
registers is disabled. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all the required PROFIBUS control and
data registers are collected from the appropriate remote Modbus slave devices.
The PLX51-PBM Modbus Auxiliary Map configuration window is opened by either
double clicking on the module in the tree or right-clicking the module and selecting
