3. Modes of operation As mentioned earlier there are 3 modes of operation that the 240U E can use to route data between the connected devices Protocol Aware Routing If the 240U E is aware of the protocol used by the remote devices then it can efficiently route data only to the required location based on the addressing inherent in that protocol The 240U E currently supports the Modbus RTU protocol When this mode is used the 240U E initially has to learn the location of slave devices by broadcasting requests to unknown slave devices However once the slave device responds its location is learnt and an entry is made in the internal routing table so that subsequent data directed at that slave device is sent only on the desired remote device connection Master Slave Routing If the protocol used by the remote devices is a Master Slave type protocol i e a single master device requests data transfers with slave devices but is a protocol other than Modbus RTU then data being sent by the master device is broadcast to all connected slave devices since the router can not know the required destination without knowledge of the protocol However data being sent by any slave device is always routed only to the master device Broadcast Mode If the protocol being used by the remote devices is not a master slave type protocol then data being sent by any remote device can be broadcast to all other connected Page 61 240U E Wireless Ethernet
