This section provides information and guidelines for implementing the Modbus communication protocol with the Analyzer in industrial automation systems that operates over Ethernet, on the Sievers TOC-R3. Communications require third-party data acquisition software or a SCADA system with Modbus TCP/IP support. Modbus communications support the collection of real-time instrument data and status information.
The table below provides information about the Modbus register map for the Analyzer. A Modbus register map is a list of registers that are used for storing data in a Sievers TOC-R3. Each register contains 16 bits of data, and they are identified by unique addresses.
