Configuration; Accessing The Configuration Mode; Setting The Serial Transmission Parameters; Setting The Modbus Address - ABB COMMANDER 100 Operating Manual

3 CONFIGURATION

Information.
• Programmable baud rate – 2400 or 9600 baud.
• Selectable parity – odd, even or none.
• Address range – 1 to 99.
For MODBUS communications to operate correctly, each slave instrument must
be configured with the correct serial transmission parameters and assigned a
unique address.

3.1 Accessing the Configuration Mode

To access the Configuration Mode, set the security switch to the 'Configure'
position, as shown in Fig. 4.1 of the relevant User Guide. When all parameters have
been programmed, reset the switch to the 'Normal' position.
3.2 Setting the Serial Transmission Parameters – Fig. 3.1
Fig. 3.1 shows the display readouts and options available when defining the serial
transmission rate and bit parity for COMMANDER 100, 150, 160 and V100
instruments. Further detail on the procedure required to set each parameter are
shown in Section 4.3.4 of the relevant User Guide.

3.3 Setting the MODBUS Address

To allow the master to differentiate between more than one slave in a system, each
slave on a MODBUS link must be assigned a unique address in the range 1 to 99.
