RANGER The RANGER can be programmed to pull individual registers from the Gateway from the various nodes. To do so, click on the “Configure” button on the Modbus tile. The RANGER can read up to 32 datapoints (or 96 with an expanded subscription) from up to 8 connected devices. - Page 9 In the example above, the RANGER is transmitting information from a Pressure Scout as well as the Gateway’s supply voltage. Clicking on “Show In Trend” will add that register to the historical data view at the bottom of the page. Clicking on “Modify” will bring a pop-up to configure alarms, or to do a register write to set a Modbus value in a register.
