The Modbus-in-a-Stick requires initial configuration over the debug port. This is done
using the SignalFire Toolkit PC application to configure the device over a serial port.
The following items must be configured:
-
Network Selection / encryption settings
-
Check-in Period Selection (
Pre-Configured Register set mode only)
-
Modbus Slave ID and register configuration (
Pre-Configured Register
set mode only)
Breakout Board
The breakout board above is included with the standard Modbus Stick and provides for easy wiring
and a DIN rail mount.
PWR
and
GND
can be wired in to the breakout board, as well as RS485 A/B.
The
STATUS LED
will blink at 1 sec when offline, and 3 sec when connected. The
Signal Strength
LEDs
give a relative RSSI reading. The breakout board also has a built in DB9 RS232 port for easy
configuration via the SignalFire Toolkit.
