The following MESR9xx Modbus Gateway properties are ordered alphabetically to assist
you in finding the information you need.
Attached
The Attached is selectable between Master and Slaves. If Master is selected, it will run in
TCP server mode, if Slaves is selected, it will run in TCP client mode.
Baud Rate
Baud Rate is the communication speed of the link between the Modbus gateway and the
device attached to its serial port. Both these devices must be configured to operate at the
same baud rate. Baud rate values range from 75 to 230,400 Baud. (Refer to Appendix B
for specific baud rates that are supported.)
Character Timeout
Character Timeout controls the maximum duration between received characters before
sending the characters to the network. Larger values may decrease the number of network
packets, but increase the amount of time to receive characters. Smaller values may
increase the number of network packets, but decrease the amount of time to receive
characters. The range is 1 through 65535.
Configuration Files
Configuration files contain all configuration settings for the Modbus gateway. When the
Modbus gateway settings have been configured you can save the settings using Vlinx
Manager. Existing configuration files can be Opened (from Vlinx Manager), which loads
them into the Modbus gateway. This allows the same configuration to be applied to
multiple Modbus gateways, or to reload a previously used configuration.
