10.5.6 Modbus Multi-Drop Mode
A maximum of 32 nodes (1 controller, 31 responders) are supported in a multi-drop installation.
10.5.7 Modbus Protocol
Authoritative information on the Modbus protocol can be found at www.modbus.org.
Supported baud rates are 9600 and 19200 with 9600 as the default (none parity, 1 stop bit) and follower addresses
set as 1 by default.
Status reading and configuration of important parameters (adjustable with Honeywell Fixed Platform App and HART)
can also be performed using the Modbus interface. This appendix describes only how to monitor Searchline Excel Plus &
Searchline Excel Edge status using Modbus.
