Page 33: Ad-Vl 500 Data Register
This data can be read out via the serial interfaces or modbus TCP. 8.2.1 Local Modbus register The AD-VL 500 provides its own data derived from the analogue inputs via the modbus protocol. This data is required when setting up the log channels (1...32). See chapter 7.2.5 on page 24. -
Page 34: Modbus Virtual Registers
8.2.2 Modbus virtual registers In addition, the data of the log channels (1...32), which were read internally or exter- nally in modbus master mode at the RS-485 interface, can be read via virtual data registers using modbus TCP. Three groups of data types with 32 channels each are available, whereby an automatic assignment of the source data type to one of the three possible data types, depending on the sign, takes place. -
