Adding Device Module to the Project

Instantiation of the Device Module

The instantiation of this Device Module requires that a Modbus manager be added to the serial interface of your controller.

Using Add Function from Template for this Device Module, you can:

  • map variables to physical inputs and outputs of your configuration

  • adjust initial values for selected variables which are part of the template

Variable selected for I/O mapping (input):
