To make the published data accessible through Modbus as well, under
Modbus
, complete the
Input Registers
fields. For a quicker configuration, in a new tab with the VR’s MCS, open the
Monitoring Host
page. Use the information under
Help
in both pages for guidance. Back in the
Modbus fields, each line inserted will be completed as follows:
a.
For each device, there will be as least as many lines in the
Input Registers
as there are
channels in
Monitoring Host
;
b.
Each line will contain 9 values, separated by commas without spaces in between:
-
start_address: represents the register address where the data will start to appear;
-
word_count: represents the number of registers held for that particular line (in this case 3:
first will represent the status of the data, the next two are hexadecimal values, composing
the actual data from the sensor);
-
EUI64: the device EUI, without the colons character (:);
-
The values for TSAPID, ObjId, AttrId, Idx1 and Idx2 are found in the
Monitoring Host
channel lines of the device;
-
MethId: will be 0;
