Device Addressing
Device addressing allows the coordinated transfer of messages between the master (the ECY Series
Controller) and the slave Modbus RTU device. For this, each device connected to the Modbus RTU
data bus is identified by its address.
About the Device Address
Each slave device must have its own unique address number in the range from 1 to 247.
Refer to the device’s hardware installation guide for information about how to set its address number.
Set the Modbus device parameters with EC- gfx Program in the
Resources Configuration
window,
Mod-
bus Device
block.
