INM MTL83xC PC Modbus Rev 4
1 INTRODUCTION
The MTL83xC is a temperature (and mV) measuring system. It consists of
an MTL838C or MTL838C-MBT and one or two MTL831C modules. See the
datasheet EPS830C and installation manuals INM838C and INM831C for
these modules for further details. The main interface on the MTL838C which
concentrates the data from the MTL831Cs is Modbus
®
RTU (RS485). The
MTL838C-MBT communicates Modbus TCP over the single RJ45 Ethernet
connector. A separate document covers the MTL838C Modbus
®
implementation
(INM MTL838C-MBF).
This document covers the operation of the PC software that is used to configure
and monitor the system. For the remainder of this document MTL838C will refer to
both the RTU and TCP versions unless stated otherwise.
1.1 PC Requirements:
The MTL83xC PC software will run on a Windows
®
7, 8, or 10 computer.
This is a small application that doesn’t require a lot of space, memory, or processor
speed. A USB cable is used to connect to the MTL838C (USB-C) – not part of the
MTL838C – purchase separately.
