The CTM -ONE is a remote wireless gateway physically connected to another MODBUS Slave Device. The Slave Gateway can communicate with local devices via Ethernet, RS232, RS485, or GPIO Input/Output (Self Slave). Typically, the Slave Gateway communicates via a single protocol, such as RS232, although simultaneous communication via RS232 and Ethernet is also possible.

  4. TCP Slave IP

Slave Gateway requires a list of all the slaves connected to it and their pre-determined addresses.

  1. Friendly Name

  2. Slave ID

  3. Self-Slave, TCP Slave, Serial ASCII, Serial RTU

  4. LAN IP of TCP Slaves only. Else leave as 0.0.0.0.

Example of configuring a MODBUS TCP Slave with the CTM

...

serving as the Master Slave Gateway:

  1. Choose a Serial mode, either RS232 or RS485, and configure it as "MODBUS".
