4.2 Modbus Communication Connection
The SF-1020i flowbench uses a programmable
logic controller (PLC) connection to control
the internal components of the flowbench. The
flowbench utilizes a Modbus TCP/IP network via
the internal controller. This option allows customers
to connect the flowbench controller to their Modbus
TCP/IP network and facilitates flowbench control
and the exchange of data. Once the flowbench has
been properly connected to your system via an
RJ-45 cable (Figure 4.2) and configured (refer to
configuration data in chart below) use the following
commands to communicate, control and read data
from the flowbench.
