5.4.2 Generating the Modbus mapping configuration file
In order to install the Modbus configuration on the DinBox RTU M4, a configuration file
should be generated. This configuration file should have the extension ".json".
A special program is designed to generate the configuration file for the DinBox RTU M4
from the spreadsheet. This requires either Microsoft excel or OpenOffice to be installed.
Upon starting the program "ModbusMappingCreator" a window is displayed to the user:
Input file
The name of the spreadsheet that has the items configured in OpenOffice (.ods)
Output file
The name of the configuration file to generate (.json)
Pressing "generate" will generate the configuration file. If there are any issues they will
be displayed in the "result" text box.
