Gateway = 192.168.102.1
Network Port 2
•
IP Address = 192.168.102.130
•
Subnet = 255.255.255.128
In the second example below, messages to an address outside of the 192.168.102.x range
would be sent to gateway 192.168.102.129 via network port 2 (the gateway is on network
port 2 subnet).
Network Port 1

3.4 Network Configuration (06.30a onwards)
From binary.app 06.30a onwards, both network ports had a full TCP/IP stack
implementation. This allows separate gateways to be configured for each network port if
required.
Section 4. Modbus
Modbus is the standard interface to the FloBoss
S600+ The protocol is based on
Gould/Modicon Modbus. The FloBoss
S600+ supports both Modbus slave and Modbus
master interfaces.
The following Config600 tools (Config Transfer, Remote Archive Uploader and the Logicalc
Editor connection) interface to the FloBoss
S600+ using Modbus. This link uses the special
“function code 65,” with specially defined FloBoss
S600+ sub-functions to provide file
transfer, system edit commands, and other specialized functionality.
4.1 Configuration
The system firmware supports up to 20 communications links. Links can have individual
Modbus maps or can share common Modbus maps depending on the configuration
requirements.
