INTRODUCTION
FieldLogger has many communication interfaces. Among all of them, we can highlight some that can be used as Modbus slaves:
• RS485, acting as a slave in Modbus RTU protocol.
• USB device, acting as a slave in Modbus RTU protocol.
• Ethernet, acting as a server in Modbus TCP protocol.
All device configurations, as well as the input channels reading, are made through Modbus protocol.
In this manual, all needed information to read FieldLogger input channels data without using the Configurator application can be found. To assure
the correct configuration and data download, always use the indicated software applications. After configuring the equipment, data obtained from its
inputs and outputs can be reached by any other software application that has Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP communication abilities.
Further details about the implementation of a network of Modbus devices over RS485 can be found in the RS485 & RS422 Basics file, available in
the www.novusautomation.com website for download.
