Programming Modbus Slave Using WindLDR
Modbus slave communication is programmed for Modbus RTU mode using WindLDR. Since these settings relate to the user
program, the user program must be downloaded to the SmartAXIS after changing any of these settings.
1. From the WindLDR menu bar, select Configuration > Communication Ports.
The Function Area Settings dialog box for Communication Ports appears.
2. In the Communication Mode pull-down list for Port 2, select Modbus RTU Slave.
3. Click the Configure button. The Communication Parameters dialog box appears. Change settings, if required.
4. Click the OK button to save changes.
5. Download the user program to the SmartAXIS.
