6.5.4.4 HSE
The HSE submenu allows to specify the Alarm Distribution Address and the Alarm Distribution Port . These
parameters are the Multicast Address and the UDP Port that are used by the FG-200 to forward alarms
from H1 devices.
Note
The default settings "Address = 239.255.0.33" and "Port = 45000" are required for
interoperability with Emerson AMS tool.
Changing these parameters may disable the display of alarm conditions in AMS alert
monitoring.
If a different HSE host tool is used, the parameter could be adapted to the values required by that tool.

6.5.5 Modbus
The FG-200 allows traditional control systems access to H1 fieldbus devices as well as over the serial port
RS485 and using TCP/IP. These control systems normally include support for the Modbus communication
protocol.
6.5.5.1 Communication
The Communication submenu allows to configure the Modbus Communication settings.
Hint
Before you modify settings make sure that the Modbus function is enabled and all parameters
are set to a valid value. Therefore consult the manual of your particular Modbus client and
adjust the Modbus configuration accordingly.
Most of the settings are self-explanatory and are related to configuring the serial port to match the
settings used by the Modbus Master.
If you are using Modbus TCP/IP over the Ethernet, then the communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop
bits) can be ignored.
