Generic Instruments
The initial
Generic Instruments
screen has the choice
Generic Instrument Editor.
The
Generic Instrument Editor
is available to customize slave Modbus instruments that
are not explicitly supported by the 9010. To modify
generic instrument setups, select this option and press
the Edit key.
This will display a list of instrument choices from 1-16.
The generic instrument’s data will be stored in certain
registers on the host instrument, such as the 9010
controller. Each instrument is allotted a certain set of registers, starting with register 1000. To
determine the beginning register, use the following calculation: (100 * generic instrument’s number (1 –
16)) + 900. Therefore, instrument 1 would begin at register 1000: (100 * 1) + 900. Instrument 7 would
begin at register 1600: (100 * 7) + 900. Each instrument is
allotted 100 registers, therefore, instrument 1’s allotment
is from register 1000 to 1099 on the 9010 controller,
instrument 2’s allotment is from register 1100 to 1199 on
the 9010 controller, etc.
The
Generic Instrument Editor
menu is split into two
parts: Coms, and Data. The screen lists the generic
instruments from Instrument 1 to Instrument 16. Select
the desired instrument to configure, then choose Coms or
Data.

Read 1 Count, Read 2 Count, Read 3 Count
The Read
X
Count field will be the number of successive
registers to read. The range is 0 – 100.
Read 1 Storage Offset, Read 2 Storage Offset, Read 3
Storage Offset
The Read
X
Storage Offset field will be the offset in the generic instruments registers (1000 – 1099 for
Instrument 1, 1100 to 1199 for Instrument 2, etc). The range is 0 – 100.
