Ethernet; Modbus I/O Module - Mitsubishi Electric MelcoREMOTE Installation And Operation Manual

11.2.

Ethernet

Ethernet can be used to connect to the server as an alternative to GPRS.
MelcoREMOTE has a 10BASE-T Ethernet controller built in to allow the unit to connect to the server via a corporate
Ethernet network, using standard Cat5/Cat6 cable.
MelcoREMOTE supports DHCP but can be assigned a static IP address instead if required.
It is recommended to check the connection settings are correct before plugging in the Ethernet cable for
the first time – see the Configuration and Commissioning section.
11.3.

Modbus I/O Module

MelcoREMOTE can be set to be a standalone Modbus I/O module which does not require a server connection.
MelcoREMOTE then acts as a Modbus RTU Slave and/or Modbus TCP Slave device to allow the current I/O values to
be accessed.
To enable I/O Module mode the Connection Type must be set to 'None (slave)'. See the Configuration and
Commissioning chapter for more details.
The Modbus Slave Register tables sections provides more information on Modbus for I/O Module mode.
