  • Page 41: Section 6 Troubleshooting

    Section 6 Troubleshooting 6.1 What are some basic guidelines I should use when installing a MODBUS-GW? • Polling should be done slowly to start. ® • Use Modscan to debug the system rather than a more complicated client. Verify that registers are being updated as events happen on the NFN network/panel.

  • Page 42: What Is The "Analog Value Polling Time Out

    Troubleshooting What is the “Analog Value Polling Time Out”? 6.9 What is the “Analog Value Polling Time Out”? This is how long a gateway will continue to poll analog points after the last client read request of the points. As long as the client makes analog reads of the same points faster than the Analog Value Polling Time then the gateway will continue to poll these points.

  • Page 43: Appendix A Gateway Settings

    Appendix A Gateway Settings NOTE: The procedures in this appendix require the use of a USB flash memory drive. A.1 Viewing Existing IP Settings 1. Connect the flash drive to the MODBUS-GW. Reboot the gateway. A file is created that matches the configured IP address of the gateway, followed by the extension “.txt” (e.g., 192.168.1.2.txt). If the file already exists on the drive, it will be altered to match the gateway configuration.

    Appendix B Exception Responses If a Modbus master device sends an invalid command or attempts to read an invalid holding register, an exception response is generated. The exception response follows the standard packet format. The high order bit of the function code in an exception response is 1. The data field of an exception response contains the exception error code.
