4. Modbus Registers ................4 5. Specifications ..................16 Product Compatibility The Modbus RTU Card is suitable for use with EMX4e and EMX4i soft starters. Disclaimer The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained in this manual is subject to change at any time and without prior notice.
2.2 Connecting to the Network After the card is in place, control power can be restored and field wiring can be connected via the 5-way connector plug. Function 1, 2 Data A Common 4, 5 Data B Modbus RTU Card (710-16499-00B)
INSTRUCTIONS 3. Operation The Modbus RTU Card must be controlled by a Modbus client (such as a PLC) which complies with the Modbus Protocol Specification. For successful operation, the client must also support all functions and interfaces described in this document.
• In Standard Mode, the card uses registers defined in the Modbus Protocol Specification. • In Legacy Mode, the card uses the same registers as AuCom's Modbus Module. Some registers differ from those specified in the Modbus Protocol Specification. The mode of operation is determined by the values of bit 15 in register 40001.
