P6100, P8100 & P4100 Controllers –Communications Parameters
The Modbus parameter addresses, and the possible ASCII message types and parameter
indents for the P6100, P8100 & P4100 are detailed below. RO indicates a parameter is read
only, R/W indicates it can also be written to. Communications writes will not implemented if
the Communications Write Parameter is disabled. Refer to the Modbus and ASCII
Communications sections of this manual for details of the protocols used.
Bit Parameters
Bit parameters are not applicable to the ASCII protocol.
