3. Mapping analyzer data to ASGW Modbus data area
4. Alarm information
3.1 Interface to DCS
ASGW has 2 functions as an interface to DCS.

Modbus RTU uses two RS-232C communication ports. Both ports have the same functions. Two

3.2 Address mapping
ASGW assembles the data from multiple analyzers and sends it to the DCS.
Max.numberofanalyzersconnectable:31
Function Available address for mapping Available points GC1000 address area
Coil 01001 to 09000 8000 Coil, Input relay
Input relay 11001 to 19000 8000 Input relay
Holding register 41001 to 49000 8000 Input register, Holding register
Input register 31001 to 39000 8000 Input register
When the data address of analyzers is the coil or holding register, it is only possible to write to the
specicaddress.
Refer to the Modbus interface table in section 3.4.
