Appendix D. Vendor Information

Appendix D.1. Connection to York Modbus Microgateway

If connecting the FieldServer to a York Modbus Microgateway, the Node_ID of the Microgateway is defined by the
address DIP switches. If switch 4 is set to 'On' and the other switches are set to 'off' then Node_ID of the
Microgateway is '247', the parity is 'Even', and the stop bits are 1. Other Node_ID combinations can be found in
the York Modbus Microgateway Installation Manual.

Appendix D.2. Modbus ASCII - Examples of FieldServer setup for typical clients

Appendix D.2.1. FieldServer with GE Cimplicity as client

0's), change the update criteria to "On Scan".

When the project is configured, run by pressing the "play" button.

Expect the Cimplicity driver to connect and poll the FieldServer for a range of valid addresses, and then
