3.25.4 Modbus Address Table
Overview
The center section of the right hand pane shows a table of Modbus Addresses. You can add, cut, copy,
paste, delete records and navigate around the rows of the table using the command buttons. Below the table
are two tabs which you use to set the contents of each address. You may wish to review the Modbus section
of this manual for a brief explanation of how Modbus addressing works or visit the Modbus website at
www.modbus.org.
Hint: you do not have to set up the entire Modbus map for the device. These maps are often extensive but
restricting the setup to critical measurements can significantly reduce setup time. It will also reduce the time
to process the device measurements and reduce the database size if the ‘Enable Historic’ checkbox is
ticked.
