Enter a Slave IP Address value.

The Address settings values are the same as those defined in the protocol manager.

3

Enter a Health Timeout (ms) value (by default 1000).

This represents the delay (in ms) between a request of the Modbus TCP IOScanner and a response from the slave. When the health timeout expires, the associated health bit values change to 0. Health bit values can be visualized in the IOScanner I/O Mapping tab or through the Web server. The health timeout applies to the channels of the slave device.

For devices with advanced settings, some additional settings can be required:

oRepetition rate (ms): Time value expressed in ms. This represents the delay between two sendings of a request. This value must be lower than the Health Timeout (ms).

oUnit ID: unit ID of the Modbus TCP slave device (by default 255).

Refer to the Device Type Manager User Guide.
