16. APPENDIX 4 - SLAVE MAP FORMATS
Maps may be imported in JSON or Microsoft Excel formats. These files are available for download from SmartWorx
Hub.
16.1 EXCEL
Excel can be used to create slave maps. Download the map template file directly from SmartWorx Hub.
Most Modbus control systems allow the export of slave and register data to csv format. This can then be copied
into the template sheet.
The data from the Modbus control system must be manipulated into one of the formats expected by the
SmartWorx Hub import facility.
The template sheet follows the structure of the Slave Map page on SmartWorx Hub.
See section entitled “Editing Slaves” for more information on entry fields.
The notation in the Excel sheet corresponds to the notation on the SmartWorx Hub editor tabs like this:
