● If a gateway is used, check if the gateway address is correctly congured.
● Check whether slave register addresses in the conguration table are correct (hexadecimal).
● If two devices with IP addresses of different network segments (the rst three segments) need to
communicate with each other, a router is needed to connect the devices.
● If communication timeout frequently occurs on slave stations (for example, the PC as a slave station
returns frames slowly) after network problems have been resolved, increase the value of SD369
timeout.
