User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-99/141
7.15.
MODBUS
The basic version of MultiCon has one RS-485 port built-in. The communication ability
can be increased by installing a communication module into slot D of the device (
This module offers 2 additional serial ports (one RS-485, and one RS-485/RS-232) and one
ethernet port, which allows the creation of an advanced Multi-Modbus system. In the current
software version, a MODBUS RTU and MODBUS TCP/IP protocol are available and every
port can be switched to Slave or Master (except port 4 which can be only SLAVE) mode.
To establish connection between MultiCon and other device using TCP/IP protocol,
port number 502 must be unlocked in software and hardware firewall.
