You can connect the modules directly to a PC or PLC via the RS-
485 interface on the modules. The following protocols are avail-
able:
• Gantner's own fast binary protoc
ol. The configuration here
takes place via the programs test.commander or ICP 100.
• Modbus RTU for reading and writing variables via registers.
• ASCII for reading and writing variables (values) with simple
commands. Module
configuration using the ASCII protocol is
not possible.
