FS-8700-01 Modbus RTU
&
FS-8700-08 Modbus ASCII
There are several similarities between these two drivers and
we have incorporated them into the same manual to ensure
that our information stays current. Although both drivers
are referenced in this manual, they are different drivers and
need to be ordered separately."

FS-8700-01_Modbus_RTU_(T28700-01) Driver Manual Page 3 of 21 1. Modbus RTU/ Modbus ASCII Description The Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII drivers allow the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocol respectively. The driver was developed for Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1a" from Modbus-IDA. The specification can be found at www.modbus.org. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.

Many vendors have written higher level communications software to use two 16 bit registers to represent floating point or 32 bit integers. This requires conversion software on both ends of the communication channel. The FieldServer supports this function and also provides other options to resolve this issue. Tr

To do this, the user must read the registers into an integer data array, and then use the Moves function to move the data to a floating point or 32 bit in

In systems where data is being collected from multiple Server Nodes and made available on a FieldServer configured as a Modbus RTU Server, when a Server Node goes offline the default behavior of the FieldServer would be to stop responding to polls for this data. This might not be what the user wants. Various options exist making it po
