Page 23: Modbus Tcp/Ip Interface
8.3.2.1 Introduction Interoperability between the Aquantis system and external systems is provided through Modbus over TCP/IP. The Modbus server runs on standard port 502. Through Modbus, data can be read, and some functions can be configured. Data reads are performed through the Read Holding Registers (0x03) data function, while data writes are performed either through Write Single Register (0x06), or through Write Multiple Registers (0x10). - Page 24 Product index 0x02 None Unsigned Selected product from the product database (1-12). 16-bit integer Product 0x04 None Unsigned The number of products over which the LOF value is Averaging 16-bit averaged (X=0-8, #products = 2 Intensity integer CALLIFREEZE® User’s Guide...
