3. This parameter defines the number of TCP connection to the gateway in either Modbus TCP master or slave mode The maximum number of the connection is 8 When BMM 101 is set as gateway of TCP master to serial slave it can accept Polling Query from up to 8 different TCP masters Each query will handle in sequence since Modbus serial interface can only handle one query at a time All other queries will be queued until the previous query is finished or timeout BMM 101 can queue up to 8 queries If there are more than 8 queries at one time those queries will be discarded and eventually TCP master will get a timeout Gateway Type Using Manager Utility This parameter defines what kind of Modbus devices which BMM 101 is connected to There are two types of connection R Modbus TCP master to Modbus serial slave z Modbus TCP slave to Modbus serial master The default setting is Modbus TCP master to Modbus serial slave Each serial port in BMM 101 can be configured into different gateway type Listening TCP port The default listening Modbus TCP port number is 502 It is recommended to use port number larger than 1024 if use TCP port number other than 502 Since most of TCP port number under 1024 are used by particular protocol Use MBAP s UID or Use Specific UID If this parameter is enabled BMM 101 will extract the UID in MBAP s header and convert the message into Modbus serial format with the extracted UID If this parameter is disable
