    For this scenario, MB-700 does not support CCSM and CCCM Blocks. MODBUS Addresses User must attribute a Modbus address to the MB-700. However this address must be unique in the Modbus networks where the MB-700 is connected through Ethernet or serial ports. In this case, user must set the DEVICE_ADDRESS parameter.

  • Page 73 Using the Data Logger Description The MB-700 may store data Logs from a LC700 Data Logger Block (FIFO). So, during normal reading of the Concentrate Data Logger it checks if there are data stored in the correspondent slave. In case there are data stored it will read these data and clear the log buffer of the slave.

The CCDL Block works together with the supervision blocks. Thus there must be supervision blocks pointing to the same address of the slave so that the CCDL Block works properly.
