MODBUS Master
If you use the 105G as a Modbus Master, then the host device/s will be Modbus Slave
device/s. If the RS485 port is used, then multiple Modbus Slave devices can be connected to
the 105G. The 105G Modbus Master will generate Modbus read and write commands to the
Modbus Slave devices.
First read the above section on Modbus Slave operation, for an understanding of how the
105G handles Modbus registers, and the types of Modbus commands the 105G Master can
generate.
The Modbus Master commands are configured in the “Serial Mapping” screen. The serial
port is configured in the same way as described in the above section on Modbus Slave.
