How to acquire data via Modbus RTU

Using modbus RTU to acquire data from Gantner Q.bloxx Modules

Modules can be read directly via Modbus-RTU.

The module addresses can be set either via dip-switches, or by using the ICP100.

This address is also the modbus ID of the module.

Setting the address via the module socket:

Setting the module address via the software test.commander:

Setting the module address in ICP 100:

• The module has to be connected directly to the PC via an USB to RS-485 adapter. It can be found by clicking the scan button.
• After identifying the module, the address can be changed in the „Module Settings“ register card.

The Module address is set to 1.
