Page 5: Description
From now on, and with the aim of easy the read of this document, the words "gateway" or “IntesisBox” are used instead of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - Modbus TCP Master. Any other use of the word "gateway" not meaning IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - Modbus TCP Master will be specifically indicated. -
Page 6: Functionality
1.2 Functionality The integration operation is as follow: From the Modbus TCP system point of view, after the start up process, IntesisBox reads continuously the points configured to be read in the Modbus TCP slave devices, and updates in its memory all the values received from the Modbus TCP system. -
Page 7: Capacity Of Intesisbox
Number of Modbus TCP Slave devices TCP Slave devices supported by the device There are different models of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - Modbus TCP Master, with different capacity every one of them. Tiny model with capacity of 110 internal data points. -
Page 8: Interfaces
IntesisBox acts as master in the Modbus TCP network, and the other Modbus devices connected to the network communicating with IntesisBox must be always slave devices. Up to 5 Modbus TCP slave devices can be defined in IntesisBox, to communicate with them. 8 / 27 ©... - Page 9 Also the data encoding used for 16 bits registers (big-endian or little-endian) can be configured in IntesisBox Modbus interface. This is the byte order for data encoding (MSB..LSB or LSB..MSB). This data encoding, although is specified as big-endian in Modbus protocol specification, it varies depending on manufacturer/type of slave.
