6.1.3: Modbus Parity Setting
The Modbus Parity distinguishes which type of parity is used to validate
each packet of information on the RS-485 Network. The type of parity
required is usually indicated by the user’s PLC.
Selecting EVEN or ODD parity will automatically include one STOP bit
per frame. Selecting NONE parity will automatically include two STOP
bits as per the Modbus communications specification.
Follow the Base Radio menu map, shown in Figure 6.3, to configure the
parity. The factory default is EVEN parity.

6.1.4: Modbus Mapping Mode
Setting
The Modbus Mapping mode distinguishes which type of mapping mode is
used to map the Modbus registers according to the device IDs.
There are two possible mapping modes that can be used. The first is the
Device ID mapping mode. Using this mode gives the Base Radio a device
ID equal to its device ID setting. There are then 10 Modbus registers lo-
cated at this device ID for this Base Radio. Each Field Unit communicat-
ing with this Base Radio is then located at device ID X, where X is the RF
ID of the Field Unit + the Device ID of the Base Radio. There are 10
Modbus registers for each Field Unit located at that Unit’s device ID. For
more information on the registers, see the Modbus Communications Proto-
col section.
The other possible mapping mode that can be used is the Register mapping
mode. Using this mode gives the Base Radio a device ID equal to its de-
vice ID setting. Then, the 10 Base Radio Modbus registers are registers 1 –
10, and the Field Unit with RF ID 1 is located at the SAME device ID as
the Base Radio but its registers are registers 11-20. Each subsequent Field
Unit is mapped similarly. For more information on the registers, see the
Modbus Communications Protocol section.
Follow the Base Radio menu map, shown in Figure 6.4, to configure the
mapping mode. The factory default is the Device ID mode.

NOTE
Make sure that the
NUM WI
setting has
been configured properly or the Modbus
addressing scheme could be affected.
To properly set the
NUM WI
setting
see section 4.5.
