Mapping Points from Remote Modbus Devices
Applies to: All Controllers
Many applications require data from external sources, such as a flow meter or a turbine
governor. In most cases, these devices have an interface through which data can be
retrieved from the device or written to the device. If the data can be accessed through
Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP, the 8521 controllers can be configured as a Modbus
Master and used to read and write the data.
Such points are mapped using the
Map Remote Device Points
form in the Workbench.
For a specific example of mapping remote device points, please refer to
Mapping Points
from Remote Modbus Devices
lab in the Training Guide.
1. To launch this form, right-click the controller and select
Map Data | Map Points
