This description only applies to the
edgeGate
and

Note
The symbolic names for Modbus items have to be provided in an ASCII text file. The file is built up
by lines, each defining a symbol name and the corresponding Modbus item.
The line starts with the symbolic name, followed by the equal sign
=
and the Modbus item
definition. Hierarchy levels can be defined using the dot
.
.
Example of a Modbus symbol file:
M0_0=RX12288.0
M0_1=RX12288.1
M0_2=RX12288.2
M1_0=RX12289.0
M2_0=RX12290.0
