The Modbus slave is correctly congured
and communicating with the WebdynModBus.
The Modbus slave is not correctly
congured or is not communicating with the
WebdynModBus.

device.

You can also look at the RS485/232(B) LED on the front panel of the unit to check on the activity over
the Modbus bus. This LED ashes rapidly on reception of Modbus packets.
7.5 Modbus Data
Once it has been congured, the WebdynModBus constantly collects data from the Modbus devices,
then writes it to a text le in CSV format. This le is compressed in GZ format, then uploaded periodically
to the FTP server for subsequent operations.
