7.4 Data Transfer via Modbus Interface
The con::cube is equipped with a Modbus interface which support the standardized Modbus protocol via RTU or TCP / IP. This
interface enables the integration of the con::cube into other networks and supports the following features:
Readingofdevicedescription(seetable-MappingofDevicespecicInputRegisterorDevicespecicHoldingRegister)
Readingof parameter results(seetable -Mappingof Parameter specicInputRegister orParameterspecic Holding
Register)
Reading of parameter status information (see table - Mapping of Parameter Status)
Reading of system status information (see table - Mapping of System Status)
Access to this information is possible by reading input registers and / or by reading holding registers. The type and the location
of the registers is described in the following sections.
