Before Using the Product 1.1 About the Operation Manual This manual explains the communication function of the TTX-800 (hereinafter referred to as the “Product”). 1.2 Things the Communication Function Can Do The unit is equipped with RS-485 for data communication with the host computer, which allows users to write and read to items of this product that are described in “6 .
Setting the MODBUS Communication 2.1 Outline Initial settings need to be made to the product for it to perform a communication function. Setting shall be done by keys at the front side. Follow the procedure shown below to navigate between setting screens. See the User’s Manual of the product for details. When the setting is done, press the MODE key for more than two seconds to return to operation mode.
2.2 Detailed Settings of the Communication Setting Mode 2.2.1 Setting of the Communication Protocol Please set the communication protocol. Initial Value Settings Modbus(RTU) Modbus(ASCII) 2.2.2 Data Length PV Please set the data length. SV Initial Value Settings 7 bits 8 bits 2.
