Modbus network monitor

GENERAL

The Modbus network monitor is intended to simplify configuration and troubleshooting of
the Modbus network. It's main function is to display the data allocated for Modbus network
communication and detect if any area has been allocated twice; that is, if a collision has
occurred.
All configured nodes, together with the commands, are listed in the middle of the screen
(B). Selecting and deselecting commands makes it possible to view any combination of
allocated data.
The Modbus network monitor has a negative influence on the overall performance of the
P485. Therefore the monitor functionality should be used with care.
