Quick Help
Select
baud rate and parity from the drop down list. Click either Master or
Slave buttons to select type of operation. Enter timing parameters or
address as applicable. Click update to register your changes. If
your slave/server device only supports function codes 5 and 6 for
writing, check the Use FC 5/6 box. The default function codes are 15 and
16, which are most widely used. If you check the box, you should also
enter a "starting at" unit # or slave address. This allows
supporting both types of devices at the same time provided you assign
slave addresses in two non-overlapping groups. (These settings do not
apply if the gateway is the slave.) Check
"Use FC 5/6 ... by count..." if you have a slave device that requires
function codes 5 and 6 for single registers while requiring function
codes 15 and 16 for multiple register writes. The same "starting at"
requirement applies here.
