SECTION 8.0 LABVIEW MODBUS TOOL

Upon request, IPWR will provide a simple Modbus LabView application ("Modbus Tool") for
evaluating. The application runs on all modern versions of Windows and is delivered as a
software executable via a Dropbox account that IPWR will set up on your behalf.
The Modbus Tool allows the evaluator the ability to manually set default system configurations,
program operating modes, and monitor Converter voltage, current, and power settings.
Comprehensive fault status and fault management is also supported.
The factory default settings for the RS485 Modbus RTU serial interface are set identically for all
IPWR products: bus protocol = RTU; baud rate = 19200 bps; word size bits = 8; parity = even;
stop bits = 2. The default slave address is 240. The Modbus Tool DOES NOT support Modbus
TCP.
The Modbus Tool should be installed on your lab PC. Installation instructions are provided with
the Modbus Tool executable. A Modbus Quick Start Kit, which includes a USB to RS485
Modbus Adapter is also available for purchase. Contact Ideal Power for Quick Start Kit pricing
and availability. This Tool does not work with the Modbus TCP is RTU only.
Three additional files are included in the Dropbox:
