Help Overview |
To
rename a device, first select the device using the "Select
Device" field to the left, then enter a new desired name and press
GO. The new name will then appear under "Select Device"
preceded by the device number and an = sign. For example, you may
change the name of the first device to "Boiler 1 Pressure" to make
reports more understandable. Background: The Device Interface Setup screen applies to the Node whose MAC address is shown in the top right of the screen. That Node is selected by clicking on Setup on the Node Discovery screen. If the selected Node is an Ethernet I/O board of a meter, only that single host meter will be discovered as the device for that Node. If the selected Node is an Ethernet-to-serial device server option board of a meter or is a DIN-rail Ethernet-to-serial device server, up to 31 physical devices may be discovered, including the Node itself. Since Modbus allows addresses of 1-247, there can be unused addresses. |
