Modbus Communication Interface | A-13
ANALYZER CONFIGURATION OPERATIONS
In this section, coniguring the analyser with the MODBUS is discussed. The 3050 analyzer
shipped ready to communicate via MODBUS using the serial communications port. While
the 3050 analyzer can be completely conigured using the MODBUS connection, AMETEK
recommends the use of the 3050 Conigurator software for coniguring the analyser. The
3050 conigurator software is also compatible with MODBUS RTU. Switching protocols
can be accomplished with the 3050 Conigurator software or with the AMETEK “ProtocolS-
witch” utility, which is discussed in the next section.
