9.3.7.5 Modbus Slave Devices 1-8
For the correct functioning of the Modbus RTU Master, the Modbus RTU Master must know all Modbus slave
devices which are connected to the RS485 interface and the data which the devices must read must have been
defined. See also System Manual SICAM Q100, chapter 2.
You can parameterize up to 8 Modbus slave devices. They can be selected in the 2 groups
Modbus slave
devices 1-4
and
Modbus slave devices 5-8
. The parameterization of the 8 Modbus slave devices is identical
and described only for the Modbus slave device 1 in the following.
