Gateway Network Card
The gateway network card also has a screen to configure its TCP/IP settings. It is accessed by pressing F2 on the Node Setup screen.
It has options for setting the gateway cards TCP-IP address, the default gateway address, and the subnet mask.
These should be set up to allow the host PC to communicate with the panel. Consult the building network administrator for suitable
settings.
8.5 MODBUS
What is the Modbus Protocol?
MODBUS is a standard communication protocol used in a wide range of industrial equipment. It allows the connection of multiple
devices, in a master/slave topology. Multiple slaves can share the same bus, but only one master can be in the line at the same
time. Master can communicate with a specific device (peer to peer) or with broadcast frames.
Modbus defines the communication format, including command, data and checksum.
Quatro Modbus uses RTU frames. These frames use silences of 3.5 chars, and a CRC of 16 bits. Data size is 8 bits.
Quatro Modbus system accepts reading (0x04) and writing (0x10) commands. These commands bits affect 16-bits registers.
What registers can the Modbus read?
