Changing an unknown Modbus slave ID
The Modbus Slave ID (address) of the device must be known for
Modbus communication.
Upon delivery, the Modbus Slave ID corresponds to the last two
digits of the serial number of the device (see Figure 34, item
If the Modbus address is not known, the Modbus Slave ID can be
reset via a Modbus broadcast message. To do this, the following
three Modbus registers must be sent to the bus together with
the function code 16 (0x10) 'Write Multiple Registers.'
To set the Modbus Slave ID the Sensor ID of the device from the
calibration certificate will be needed.

The three Modbus registers must now be sent from the Modbus
master to the broadcast address '0.' All of the devices connected
to the bus receive the message, but only the device addressed
via the manufacturer code and the Sensor ID sets the Modbus
Slave ID to the new required value.
