Configuring the Modbus Input Register

The Modbus Input Register is configured as follows:

1. Go to the settings panel of the Modbus Input Register object that is created on the basis of the Modbus Device object.
   

2. In the Address field, specify the Input Register address in the register map of this device.

   Attention!

   • The registers map is provided by the manufacturer.
   • The register address is always less than the register number by 1. The register address is specified in the settings.
3. Set the Poll checkbox to start polling the Modbus Input Register. This makes the settings available for editing.
4. From the Rule drop-down list, select the Modbus rule to which this Input Register complies (see Configuring the Modbus Rule).
