MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
22.2.2
MODBUS Configuration
The entire list of MODBUS points can be accessed and configured by going to:
Multiple Modbus Masters and Modbus Slaves can be configured in MultiSmart. However consideration
should be given to the number of physical communication ports available and the size of the points list which
in turn affects the available free memory in the MultiSmart.
22.2.2.1 Add Modbus Slave
A Modbus slave is created by default in the MultiSmart when the default configuration is used or the setup
wizard is being used to generate a standard configuration. Select this option if a new slave is to be added.
This requires a reboot of the MultiSmart.
Once a slave is added go to the Modbus Slave option to configure the points list.
Then select the Protocol Settings to configure the communication channel.
22.2.2.2 Add Modbus Master
Select this option to create a Modbus Master. When a master is created a slave profile for that particular
master is also created by default. To add another slave profile under the master, use the Add Modbus
Master Slave option. Multiple masters can be created by selecting this option again. A restart of the
MultiSmart is required for each addition of a master.
Once a master is added go to the Modbus Master option to configure the points list.
Then select the Protocol Settings to configure the communication channel.
22.2.2.3 Add Modbus Master Slave
A slave profile for the master is created by default when a Modbus Master is created. When more than one
slave is to be configured under that master select this option. This feature requires a reboot of the
MultiSmart. If multiple masters are configured the wizard will ask; under which master the new slave profile
needs to be created.

Questions and answers
I have four pumps connected to my multi smart. One jockey and three that rotate with the jockey as needed. My problem is that the jockey pump always shows its running even when it isn't running. the other pumps show actuate run times and starts. only the main pump shows continuous run even when it is turned off. I was wondering if there any advice I could be given to resolve this issue.
The MultiTrode MultiSmart may show the jockey pump as continuously running even when it is turned off due to the "External Run" status. This occurs if the pump is started by an external control method, such as a manual override switch, where the contactor remains closed but no run command was sent by the controller. As a result, the system continues updating run time statistics and generating relevant faults or warnings. Checking for an external control signal or a stuck contactor may help resolve the issue.
