Configuration Example: Reading Registers on a Modbus Server Device
The Local Registers are listed on the Local Registers
›
Local Registers in Use
screen. The local registers are the main global
pool of registers that are defined by the user to store data within the DXM Controller.
The bottom status bar displays the communications status, application status, and the DXM Configuration Software version.
In this short example, we will configure the DXM Controller to read six registers on an external Modbus server device and
save the data into the local registers.
The software only loads a file to the DXM. Internal parameter settings that are changed in the software but not saved to the
file will not be sent to the device.
Define the Local Registers
Change the name and parameter settings for each Local Register under the Local Registers in Use screen. You may change
them individually (Edit Register) or in groups (Modify Multiple Registers).

Create an RTU Read Rule
Follow these steps to create a new read rule.
This example screen shows a read rule created to read six registers (address 1 through 6), from Modbus ID 4. The results
are stored in the Local Registers 1 through 6.

Connection Settings.
If you are connected to the same network as the DXM, select TCP/IP and enter the DXM IP address. Click
Connect.
If you are using a USB cable, select Serial, then select the COM port that the USB cable is plugged into. Click
Connect. If you are unsure which COM port and multiple appear, attempt to connect to each one of them until
successful.

Click on the Modify Multiple Registers section of the Local Registers in Use screen.
Use this screen to quickly modify multiple local registers at a time.
1.
Select the range of registers to change.
2.
Select the fields to change in each local register.
In our example, registers one through six will be changed and the names will be GPS Reg followed by an auto-
incremented number. This example will also change the LCD permissions flag to Set, then Read to allow the values of
the local registers to display on the LCD.
