Appendix C
MODBUS Protocol
This appendix provides a description of the MODBUS Protocol Interface
and is supported both over RS-232/485 (RTU protocol) as well as TCP/IP
over Ethernet.
The MODBUS Commands that are implemented are explained in detail in
this document. The MODBUS protocol support for the i Series enables the
user to perform the functions of reading the various concentrations and
other analog values or variables, read the status of the digital outputs of the
analyzer, and to trigger or simulate the activation of a digital input to the
instrument. This is achieved by using the supported MODBUS parameters
listed below.
For details of the Model 42 i MODBUS Protocol specification, see the
following topics:
