Modbus Device List
The AcquiSuite automatically searches for Modbus devices on the RS485 serial loop. The Modbus Device List
page will show a listing of all the currently detected or configured devices the AcquiSuite has found. The device
list will show the Modbus address number, status (OK, Error, Alarm, Unconfigured), the device name (user
specified) and the device identification string.
Click on the Modbus address number for any of the devices for specific device details
Note: not all Modbus devices have built in driver support in the AcquiSuite. If a device appears in the list with
“Unknown” in the status column, you may need to upgrade the firmware on the AcquiSuite to access the device.
At the bottom of the device list page under the Type column, a link is shown that will show all the Modbus
devices with built in driver support provided in the firmware. Use the System/Firmware update page to check
for newer versions of the firmware. The Obvius.com website faq also has a list of supported Modbus devices.
Modbus devices that are not supported by built in drivers may be configured using the Modbus Framework
feature in the AcquiSuite.
At the bottom of the device list, there is an option to allow you to rename all the devices listed. This is useful for
initial deployments. There is also a troubleshooting link that will look for common configuration problems and
alert you to the appropriate solution.
Device List Options
At the top of the Modbus device list page, there are several display options that control the sorting of the device
list.
Tree display: Click this icon to organize the list by showing each ModHopper, and the devices attached
to each one.
List display: (default) Show the list of Modbus devices sorted by the Modbus address number.
At the bottom of the Modbus device list, there are several options that may be selected to view or

that is not presently connected to the system, add a framework configured device, or add a Modbus/TCP
