Protocol
Protocol
Modbus TCP: TCP Socket access mode. Modbus RTU: serial port access mode.
Serial port
SerialPort
(in RTU mode only) Number of the COM serial port to use for the communication.
Baudrate
Baudrate
(in RTU mode only) Serial communication speed (Baud Rate). The communication speed value should be set to match that of the device with which you intend to communicate.
Data size
DataSize
(in RTU mode only) Number of bits of a single character required by the communication protocol concerned.
Parity
Parity
(in RTU mode only) Parity bit for handling transmission errors. Even: if the 1-bits in a byte are odd, add a 1-bit until the 1-bits are even. Odd: if the 1-bits in the byte are even, add a 1-bit to make them odd.
Stop bits
StopBits
(in RTU mode only) Number of stop bits required by the communication protocol concerned.
Flow control
FlowControl
(in RTU mode only) Type of data flow control for the type of communication used. None: no flow control - the control is not required by the protocol; Hardware: the flow control is managed by serial line electrical signals (for example, RTS, CTS, and so on); Software: the flow control of data is XON/XOFF.
