Background Modbus is a digital serial communications protocol published by Modicon for use with its programmable logic controllers PLCs It has become a standard communications protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the same network for example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer HAMILTON uses a Modbus protocol in which there is one master device the PLC or ARC View Handheld and numerous passive slave devices the sensors The master device transmits a Modbus device address to establish a communications link with a sensor All sensors that do not have this address ignore the transmission The HAMILTON Modbus protocol is described in detail in the VISIFERM DO Modbus RTU Programmer s Manual PN 624179 See also Appendix A 5 HAMILTON ARC System documents on Page 137 Modbus device addresses and sensors An ARC sensor s Modbus device address uniquely identifies an ARC sensor with respect to its digital communications with the PLC The address is represented by a number in the range 1 to 30 NOTE Do not confuse the Modbus device address of a sensor with its Sensor ID or Sensor Number For more information about Sensor IDs or Sensor Numbers see e Figure 1 2 The ARC View Handheld showing top level of interface pH sensor attached e Table 1 1 ARC View Hand
