10.3.9 Modbus channels
The communication between Modbus TCP master and Modbus slaves is realized through defined
Modbus channels.
These channels are set in the register-tab "Modbus Slave Channel" using the "Add Channel..." button.
The process data of a slave can then be monitored under
"ModbusTCPSlave I/O Mapping" (see
10.3.11 , Reading out the process data , page 10-25 )
The Modbus communication channels are defined by:

"Access Type":
Modbus function code, which defines the access method (bit- or word wise, read or write).

"READ Register" or "WRITE Register"
→
"Offset":
Specification of the start address for the Modbus Slave's register that has to be read or written.
These specifications have to be taken from the slave's Modbus documentation!
