Generac PowerZone Modbus TCP 

Configuration Guide 

IM-815-02 

04-MAR-2020 

The OmniMetrix (OMNI) TrueGuard PRO monitor, with Modbus TCP functionality, 
comes with default network configurations, and since it is easy to configure the 
network settings on the PowerZone (PZ) control in the field, please configure the PZ 
as follows: 

 

The OMNI unit is configured for these network values: 

IP Address: 10.0.1.202 

Subnet Mask:  255.255.0.0 

Gateway: 10.0.1.1 

 

For a 

single

 PZ control, set the following: 

Modbus Slave ID = 1 

IP Address: 10.0.1.101 

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 

Gateway: 10.0.1.1 (this is not important) 

 

If 

multiple

 PZ controls are to be connected, such as in an MPS 

configuration, use the following: 

MPS Gen # 

Modbus Slave ID  IP Address 

Subnet Mask 

10.0.1.101 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.102 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.103 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.104 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.105 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.106 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.107 

255.255.0.0 

10.0.1.108 

255.255.0.0
