11 Configuring Modbus
Refer to the documentation supplied with the host computer for details of its communication and Modbus configuration.
Note: It is recommended that the host computer is configured to provide at least two retries in the event of a communication
loss with a minimum delay of 1 s between each poll, and a minimum timeout of 2 s.
Note: TPPR Modbus automatically uses two stop bits when parity is “None” and one stop bit when parity is “Odd” or “Even”.
To configure the TPPR Modbus communication parameters:
1. Login as an Engineer.
2. From the System Status screen select the Tool Box icon then Global Settings.
3. Select Modbus Settings> Edit to adjust the parameters.
4. When complete, select Save and exit settings.

setting in daisy chain or multi-drop
configuration.
