In our example, only one Slave device has been discovered on the Modbus network.
In this case the discovered slave is at address 1. We will refer to this slave as “Slave 1” later.
Although not shown in this example, you can now edit this slave, and enrich the discovered slave data.
We will show some enrichment editing of Slave 1 a little later.
Next we will use the “import” method to get more slave maps into the system.
3.5.2 CREATE/IMPORT YOUR SLAVES
Using the “
Create
” option you can import a pre-prepared, pre-enriched set of Slave data, in either Excel or JSON
format.
We provide a number of aids for you to use the “
Create
” option.
First, you can download templates directly from here using the “Download Templates” option. At the time of
writing we have templates in .xls, .xlsx, and .json formats.
Second, you can create a slave and enter all enrichment for it using the “New Map” option.
Third, you can import a pre-prepared, pre-enriched, set of slave data using the “Load Map” option. When
importing slave data you must use one of the template formats provided by “
Download Templates
”.
