Properties
| Name | BrowseName | DataType | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protocol | Protocol | Protocol | Modbus TCP: TCP Socket access mode. Modbus RTU: serial port access mode |
| Serial port | SerialPort | String | (in RTU mode only) Number of the COM serial port to use for the communication |
| Baudrate | Baudrate | UInt32 | (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 | Byte | (in RTU mode only) Number of bits of a single character required by the communication protocol concerned |
| Parity | 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 | Stop bits | (in RTU mode only) Number of stop bits required by the communication protocol concerned |
| Flow control | FlowControl | Flow control | (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 |
