Define a register to be used to track how long the Modbus sensor was not communicating with the master radio. Figure 6. Example communication register for a temperature/relative humidity sensor. 3.5.2 Create a Read Rule Create a Read Rule to define how often to read the sensor register and what to do if the communication attempt fails. -
Page 10: Create A Threshold Rule
® Sure Cross DXM Tips and Tricks Figure 8. Example read rule for monitoring the wind speed sensor connection. For the relative humidity example, local register 4 (Garage Humidity) will be populated with the value from Modbus ID 19, register 101. The DXM master radio attempts to communicate with the Modbus sensor (Slave ID 19) every 5 minutes. - Page 11 ® Sure Cross DXM Tips and Tricks Figure 10. Example threshold/action rule for a wind speed sensor communication failure. For the relative humidity example, when this register's value equals 1, local register 22 tracks how long this Modbus sensor was not able to be reached. The alarm is sent to the web server service, and the event is logged in the Events Log on the DXM.

Page 12: Modbus Communication Timeouts
® Sure Cross DXM Tips and Tricks 4 Modbus Communication Timeouts A Modbus timeout is the amount of time a Modbus slave is given to return an acknowledgment of a message sent by the Modbus master. If the Modbus master waits for the timeout period and no response is seen, the Modbus master considers it a lost message and continues on to the next operation. -
