GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Modbus data is mapped in tables and assigned an address. Data can be of two types:
• REGISTER, 2 bytes (word of 16 bits) that can be associated to an analog input or output, a variable, a setpoint, etc.
• COIL, 1 bit that can be associated to a digital input or output, or to a logic state.
A register could contain the image (mirror) of a group of coils; for example, the system flags of the device could be read or written
as individual bits addressing the coil related to each or can be read or written as a word addressing the register. Modbus registers and
coils are divided into the following groups of addresses:
• 0xxxx and 1xxxx = Coils (bit)
• 3xxxx and 4xxxx = Registers (word)
When reading functions are performed, use the tables indicated below to address the registers. These registers may be addressed by a
Modbus TCP/IP server or by the integrated web server.

DESCRIPTION OF MODBUS REGISTERS
40002 / 40003: FIRMWARE
Two read-only registers, containing the firmware version.
40007: NODE ID
Contains the Modbus address of the device; the values allowed are from 1 to 245 decimal.
This value must match the Modbus address of the connected Modbus device (data source).
Default value: 1 Decimal (01 Hex). INIT value: 245 Decimal (F5 Hex).
40011: SYSTEM FLAGS
Contains the enable bits and system event identifiers. The following parameters are configurable:
Watchdog Event Enable: this bit enables the Watchdog Event (0=Watchdog Disabled, 1 =Watchdog Enabled). If the Watchdog
is enabled and the Watchdog Timer (configured in register 40013) expires before this device receives a Modbus command, the
green PWR LED blinks and the Watchdog Event bit is set to 1. This bit must be set in logic on power up.
Watchdog Event: this bit is set to 1 when the Watchdog Timer expires before this device receives a Modbus command. This bit must
be reset manually after a Watchdog event.
Power Up Event: this bit is forced to 1 at each time power is applied to the device to indicate that the device has been switched off
or reset. With the setting of this bit as 0 (by the user) and checking its state, it is possible to know if a reset of the device has occurred
(0 = reset not occurred; 1 = reset occurred). This bit must be reset manually.

INIT, RESET AND WATCHDOG FUNCTIONS
INIT Function
The INIT function facilitates access to a device when there is a problem accessing it at its configured IP address. The configured
username and password are required for INIT access.
The INIT terminal is adjacent to the power terminals. Applying power to the device while the INIT terminal is shorted to the -VS
terminal causes the device to request a temporary IP address from the DHCP server on the network. If there is no DHCP server on
the network, the device will temporarily use 192.168.1.174.
The temporary INIT mode Modbus ID is 245.
Once connected in INIT mode, device network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, etc.) may be changed to conform to the
requirements for your industrial network. Other parameters may also be modified while INIT mode is active. Once the short (or
jumper) is removed from the INIT and -VS terminals, the device can be accessed using the user-configured IP address, username, and
password.
NOTE: If not using DHCP, verify that 192.168.1.174 is not in use on your network and ensure that the 192.168.1.n network is
accessible to your computer.
To use the INIT function:
• Before applying power to the device, short the INIT terminal to the -VS terminal.
• Apply power to the device and connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to your computer.
• Open a browser and type 192.168.1.174 or the DHCP-assigned address in the address field.
• Browse through the user interface to view configuration settings and data, or change configuration settings.
• When all changes are complete and saved, disconnect power from the device.
• Remove the connection shorting the INIT and -VS terminals.
• Apply power to the device and access it from a browser using the configured IP address, user name and password.
NOTE: When INIT mode is active, the analog input measurements are not updated.
Hardware Reset to Default
With the device powered and not in INIT mode, push and hold the RESET button located on the front of the device for 5 seconds.
The green PWR LED will switch off, the yellow STS LED will turn orange and the device will reset.
When the reset procedure is finished, both LEDs will be in the default condition and the following parameters will be set:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.100
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
• Modbus Address: 1
• Username: admin
• Password: password
Watchdog Function
The device is equipped with a Watchdog timer. If enabled, it activates an alarm each time that there is not communication between
the device and the master for a time greater than that specified.
During this alarm condition the green PWR LED on the front of the device blinks and the “Watchdog Event” coil is forced to 1.
To exit from the alarm condition, send any command to the device and reset the “Watchdog Event” coil.
NOTE: When the device is switched off the state of the “Watchdog Enable” bit remains stored in EEPROM.
