Maximum number of Modbus slave devices allowed by IntesisBox. Slave devices There are different models of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - Modbus RTU Master, with different capacity every one of them. Tiny model supporting connection to up to 110 internal data points. -
Page 8: Interfaces
IntesisBox. The types of networks supported by IntesisBox are: RS485 2-wire (up to 254 slave devices are allowed by IntesisBox, thus up to 254 slave devices in the same RS485 network can be integrated with just one IntesisBox, installing additional line repeaters where necessary). - Page 9 Communication parameters of IntesisBox's Modbus interface (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity) are fully configurable to adapt to any slave device. Of course IntesisBox and all the slave devices connected to the Modbus network must use the same communication parameters.
