| Configuring Modbus

On the CCU Settings page, you can configure Modbus by selecting the baud rate, parity, data, and stop bits that are already set across all slave devices in the network. In any network, there can be up to 32 slave devices. For example: In a network, there can be 25 energy meters or a combination of 10 energy meters, 5 UPS, and 8 RRS, or any other combination. But for the slaves, the Modbus configuration setting must be the same.

To configure Modbus:

  1. Click Settings.
  2. Select Modbus Config as shown.

The user will then get an option to select the device address (slave ID) that can be any whole number between 1 - 247. Once the equipment type is selected, all the parameters related to that equipment are displayed. The user can select all those parameters that are required for that site.
