Modbus Point Addressing for information on how to specify the sentinel point address.
Use Modbus function 6 to write data
Check this box to use Modbus function 6 (Preset Single Register) to write data rather than function 16
(Preset Multiple Registers). Some Modbus devices do not properly support function 16.
Leave this unchecked unless errors occur when writing point values to the device, or it is known that
function 16 is not supported.
Group Settings Tab
These deter mine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the default “Allow Everyone”
enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.
There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.
Advanced Tab
Name
Name is used for advanced features. If left blank, it will be assigned automatically. It is recommended
that the default value not be changed. It can be up to 48 characters. Only A
–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and
underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.
Node ID
This internal reference ID of this node is read-only
— and rarely needed by the user.
Disable communication with this device
Check this box to prevent communications with this device. Uncheck for normal operation.
