2.3.2 Modbus RTU Master Diagnosis
The diagnosis for Modbus RTU master and Modbus gateway allows:
• checking the status of the serial communication with message and error counters and an overview of the
configured serial interface parameters
• an overview of the request messages sent by the Modbus master including the request status for each
message
• an overview of the last 5 messages sent via Modbus gateway (only available if the Modbus gateway func-
tion is enabled)
The message and error counters can be reset if necessary by clicking the Clear counters button.
