9. SLAVE MAPS AND ENRICHMENT
If you have some knowledge of the Modbus network that is being sniffed, you can “enrich” the Modbus data by
telling the SmartSwarm device how to interpret these addresses and substitute some more meaningful strings.
There are two fundamentally different ways to enter this enrichment information:
●
Discover:
o
Allow the device to automatically learn the network and the memory maps of the various slaves
and present this information to you.
o
Then edit this information with any extra knowledge that you have.
●
Create or Import a Slave Map:
o
Use your prior knowledge of the Modbus network and the slaves to pre-configure the device. This
can be done in advance of connecting the device to a network.
It is possible to mix these two approaches in whatever way makes most sense for your application. Here, we will
present one example of each.
