Chipkin™ VeederRoot® Gateway User Manual 5. READING DATA AND TEST PROCEDURE This section contains information on how to view the VeederRoot data. Important Note: These next sections display sample data using a default configuration. The Modbus Map and BACnet objects are generated during the configuration process, so they will change and will be different than what is described here.
Chipkin™ VeederRoot® Gateway User Manual • What is Modbus? • Testing Modbus Communication Interpreting Modbus Data Modbus does not have a mechanism for reporting the validity of data. If the gateway loses its connection to the Veeder-Root device (or a data point cannot be read), it will disregard previous data as unreliable.
Table 5.2-1 - Example Modbus Map Test Procedure Using the CAS Modbus Scanner You can test the Modbus TCP data using the free test software provided by Chipkin Automation Software. The software can be downloaded at http://www.chipkin.com/cas‐modbus‐scanner. To Configure the CAS Modbus Scanner: 1.
Chipkin™ VeederRoot® Gateway User Manual Figure 5.2-2 - Reviewing Data with the CAS Modbus Scanner READING BACNET DATA You can access BACnet report data from the Veeder-Root device by using discover to detect gateway objects and their properties. Although each BACnet device (including the gateway) needs to have a unique instance number, discovery does not require the number to be known in advance.
Chipkin™ VeederRoot® Gateway User Manual true and it will disregard previous data as unreliable. The value of the present value property is not changed, so the last good value will be shown. BACnet Object List The sections contain an example of the BACnet Object List for this gateway.
