See the D90 Communications Guide for information on developing communication
drivers and for the Modbus memory map. The map is also viewable in a web browser;

section outlines Modbus configuration settings.
The Modbus server can simultaneously support one client over serial RS485 and four
clients over Ethernet. The server is capable of reporting any indication or measurement
and operating any output present in the device. A user-configurable input and output map
is also implemented.

The D90 operates as a Modbus slave device only.
Select the Settings > Communications > Modbus > Protocol menu to open the Modbus
protocol configuration window.

The following settings are available.
Modbus Slave Address
Range: 1 to 254 in steps of 1
Default: 254
This setting specifies the Modbus slave address for the D90
unique slave address from 1 to 254. Address 0 and addresses from 248 and up are
reserved by the Modbus protocol specification, and so their use here is not
recommended. Address 0 is the broadcast address to which all Modbus slave devices
listen. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same
address or conflicts resulting in errors occur. Generally, starting at 1, set each device
added to the link to use the next higher address.
Modbus TCP Port Number
Range: 1 to 65535 in steps of 1
Default: 502
Modbus over TCP/IP can also be used on any of the Ethernet ports. This setting specifies
the Modbus TCP port number for Ethernet communications. Power to the D90
be cycled for changes to this setting to take effect.
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in
unreliable operation of those protocols.
The Modbus user map provides read-only access for up to 256 registers. To obtain a
memory map value, enter the address in the
to decimal format). The corresponding value (if programmed) displays in the
value of "0" in subsequent register
previous Address lines incremented by 1. An address value of "0" in the initial register
means "none" and values of "0" displays for all registers. Different Address values can be
entered as required in any of the register positions.
