ioLogik E1200 User's Manual

Ethernet Configuration

On the Ethernet Configuration page, you can set up a static or dynamic IP address for the ioLogik
E1200, and configure the subnet mask and gateway address.

User-defined Modbus Addressing

To control an input or output channel of a remote Ethernet I/O device running the most general
Modbus/TCP protocol requires specifying the Modbus address of those input and output channels.
This can take quite a bit of effort since you may need to look up the address and data type in the
user's manual for address mapping, and can also cause problems once the I/O channels change or a
device is replaced. The ioLogik E1200's user-defined Modbus addressing offers the flexibility to
make the Modbus address dynamic, and the address can be configured to be compatible with other
Modbus devices. When a system is being replicated, or a data acquisition I/O is being replaced, the
user-defined Modbus eliminates the effort of reconfiguring the PC control software or field
controller.
