Some parameters have performance advantages when being read from the devices. These parameters have a green
background when displayed in the tree and a tooltip that says “Producer.”
Figure 27: Modbus® TCP and Data Logging Example
Modbus® Default Register Addressing
By default, register addresses are automatically incremented as items are added to the table. You may override the
register addressing by typing a new address. To change the register in a row or group of rows, use the leftmost
Row
Select
column to select the desired rows. (To select multiple rows, select the first row in the group and drag down the
Row Select
column, or hold the shift key while you select all the rows).
l
"
Delete Selected Rows
" is a permanent deletion
l
"
Renumber Selected Rows
" is used with a group of contiguous rows and renumbers the selected rows, starting with
the register address of the first selected row.
l
“
Add Separator Below Current Row
” allows you to add a separator to the table view for readability.
If there is duplicate data in the register column in the Modbus® files, the RMA PLUS will use the first occurrence.
Note that the RMA PLUS requires the Modbus® files to be sorted by register address (Register column), so
CSV Creator sorts the rows by register addresses upon saving. You may also manually sort the rows using the
Sort
but-
ton. These Modbus® configuration files must always contain incrementing Modbus® configuration data for proper func-
tioning of the RMA PLUS. (This sorting functionality is disabled for other file types that do not require sorted data).
All the data to the right of the Description column will only be available upon initial load of the parameters, and will not be
saved to the configuration file, to minimize file size and improve performance. When the file is saved or reopened, these
columns will be blank, as the data is not saved to the files.
