Use this page to map Modbus devices to virtual BACnet objects created within the BASgatewayLX.
Use the Add button to add a device.
Use the Copy button to clone an existing device.
Use the Modify button to modify an existing configured device.
Use the Delete to remove a listed device.
Double clicking an item under Configured Devices opens a read-only Device Information window.
Pressing Add, Copy or Modify opens a new screen where you can Name the device and set its Modbus Address. Leave the Modbus IP Address at 0.0.0.0 to disable Modbus/TCP for this device. A non-zero value enables Modbus/TCP.
Automatic Device Instances: When using up to 10 BASgatewayLX units, assign a different Region Number (0-9) for each BASgatewayLX to make auto-created Device Instances unique across multiple EIA-485 networks. Uncheck Device Instance Auto to manually enter a Device Instance. Otherwise, it is an automatically created 7-digit value as follows. The first 3 digits are 245 (Contemporary Controls' Vendor ID). The next digit is your specified Region Number. The last 3 digits are the Modbus Address you entered above. NOTE: if your Modbus/TCP devices use duplicate Modbus addresses then disable Device Instance Auto and manually assign a Device Instance.
